RP Fighting Blindness is the UK charity that provides support for those affected by Retinitis Pigmentosa, the disease that is the cause of my own blindness, and funds research into potential cures and treatments.

This small but incredibly formidable charity is at the centre of some pretty ground breaking gene therapy and stem cell research that could, not only provide a cure for RP, but also lead on to cures for other causes of blindness and inherited diseases. Although all of this is very exciting and the opportunities for the charity to continue to fund ongoing and new research studies and clinical trials abound, the commercial reality is that the ability to do so relies on the generosity of donors. Let your heart guide you to your wallet and help to move medical research forward.

With fondness and appreciation,
Sandi
