Over ten million Americans are affected by blinding retinal diseases such as macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa and Usher syndrome. Foundation Fighting Blindness is working to find treatments and cures for these devastating diseases. Foundation Fighting Blindness funds leading-edge research in areas such as genetics, gene therapy, transplantation, artificial retinal implants, and pharmaceutical and nutritional therapies.

Since 2006, VisionWalk has raised over $17 million to support the mission of the Foundation Fighting Blindness. Over 50 walks are planned for 2011, including the 2nd Annual Triad VisionWalk on Saturday, October 1, 2011 at Country Park in Greensboro.
