Featured Volunteer:
Amy Hayes joined the Foundation in November 2011 after finding out her 11-year-old son, Nathan, was diagnosed with a severe early onset of Retinitis Pigmentosa. After reaching out to the Foundation and learning about the Chicago VisionWalk, Amy created and registered her team, Team Focus, to help raise money toward FFB’s mission. Amy is also a member of the Chicago Walk Committee and attends Chapter meetings where she and her family can reach out to those affected by a retinal degenerative disease.
