Message from the President:
 Hello and welcome to the St. Louis Chapter of the Foundation Fighting Blindness (FFB)! The St. Louis Chapter is one of about 50 nationwide that offers support, information and direction for questions relating to retinal degenerative disease. We hold Chapter meetings 3 or 4 times a year, hosting various retinal doctors, researchers, low vision aid specialists, mobility experts and others. These meetings are free of charge and also offer the opportunity for those affected by retinal disease, their friends, family and anyone else interested to meet others in similar situations and hear the latest Chapter and Foundation news.

Foundation Highlight:
New Leaders Bring Widespread Experience
The Foundation has six new national trustees, and this piece provides photos and descriptions of their work with FFB.
Featured Volunteer:
 Jacob Allmeyer was born May 5, 1995, a free-willed, loving little boy with the whole world at his hands. Our aspiration as parents was to ensure he would dream big and tackle any challenge head first. Well, needless to say, we had no idea there would be limitations to his dreams and abilities that he would not be able to overcome. It wasn’t until Jacob was five that we realized the limited world Jacob could see, and worse yet, couldn’t see at all.
