According to co-chair Julie Ellis: "Thanks to the promising research funded by the Foundation Fighting Blindness, we have hope that there will be a cure for our son who is affected by Usher syndrome." This sentiment is echoed by committee member Jamie Cutler who said: "As a parent of a child impacted by a blinding disease, I am thrilled to have an organization like the Foundation Fighting Blindness leading the charge towards sight-saving treatments."
