The Foundation Fighting Blindness VisionWalk program includes more than 40 walk events in cities throughout the United States. Each walk is a fun, family-friendly 5K and an opportunity for communities to come together in support of the Foundation’s mission to fund research leading to cures for blindness caused by retinal degenerative diseases.
Throughout its over-10-year history and through the generosity of walkers, donors, and corporate sponsors, the Foundation VisionWalk program walks have raised more than $45 million. These funds have allowed the Foundation to continue to advance its important mission of moving vision-restoring treatments from the laboratory to the patients who need them. Vision science is making great strides — today more than 20 potential treatments for blindness are in clinical trials — but there is still more work to do. You can help by participating in a walk or sponsoring a walker or a walk team.
