Spring Virtual VisionWalk Kickoff
On Thursday, March 25th, we held our Virtual VisionWalk Kickoff! We shared research updates, what to expect on walk day, fun fundraising ideas, exciting challenges and walk day activities. Participants also had an opportunity to connect with constituents from all spring walks across the country and heard inspiring stories from passionate volunteers.
Below is a recording from the main presentation:

Over 10 Million Americans are affected by blinding retinal diseases including macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa and Usher syndrome.
