Featured Volunteer:

My name is Judith Leach and I’m on a personal quest for a cure for retinal degenerative diseases.

I have two grown sons and both have Usher syndrome, which is like retinitis pigmentosa but with hearing loss. For a long time when my oldest son was originally diagnosed with this retinal disease the doctors informed us there was no cure in sight. I have lived for years with just a glimmer of hope that a cure could be found.
