Since I have been on the board of the Glaucoma Research Foundation it has been exciting to watch the growth in momentum in supporting Glaucoma research. It has been most satisfying to be even a small part of the Foundation’s endeavors.

I am volunteering with the Glaucoma Research Foundation because I believe in the mission of this organization and have confidence in the research it funds through programs such as "Catalyst for a Cure" and the Shaffer Fund. I am motivated to get other youth involved in this cause because with enough support, there is a chance that we may find a cure within our lifetime. To eradicate a leading cause of blindness - what an amazing goal!

As a founder of GRF, I have watched it grow over the years to become the most effective foundation seeking a cure for Glaucoma. It has a strong board consisting of knowledgeable physicians and interested patients and worthy of support if you have friends or family with glaucoma

GLAUCOMA RESEARCH FOUNDATION, WITH A RELATIVELY SMALL REASERCH BUDGET, HAS RAISED THE BAR FOR GLAUCOMA RESEARCH WITH THE FUNDING IT DID FOR THE "CATALYST FOR A CURE" COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH PROGRAM. ITS BOARD HAS DIVERSE MEMBERSHIP. THE END RESULT IS A GREAT PARTNER FOR THE GRF STAFF AND A VERY GOOD FORUM FOR WHERE TO TAKE THE RESEARCH..

Years ago I was asked to volunteer with GRF's investment committee. With glaucoma in my family, I was glad to help. As I grew more familiar with GRF, I became more involved, eventually (and still) as a board member. GRF's small staff provides useful information for glaucoma patients and their families and its funding is driving the direction of glaucoma research toward a cure - too late for my mother, but not for my grandchildren.
