KENS5 San Antonio - March 19, 2009 - Battling blindness one step at a time

Thursday, 19 March 2009

Katelyn Grun is not your typical eighth grade student. At the age of seven, Katelyn was diagnosed with cone-rod dystrophy, a disease that has slowly robbed her of her vision. Today, she is legally blind. But, Katelyn and her family have not lost hope.

KatelynGrun_playThanks to the hard work of the Foundation Fighting Blindness, Katelyn stays optimistic that a cure for her disease will soon be found. In an effort to support the Foundation, Katelyn joined several San Antonians on March 10, 2009 to participate in the area’s first-ever VisionWalk, the national fundraising program of the Foundation. Watch this video from KENS5 San Antonio to learn more about Katelyn and the Foundation Fighting Blindness.
