“I am about to share with you something very personal, something that I didn’t want people to know until a few years ago.”
“Everyone is confronted with obstacles in their life, and how you respond to those obstacles will reflect how you overcome them.” — Jerrold Keilson
“What motivates me is the very real possibility of discovering something in my laboratory that can allow patients to see to see much better, for much longer periods of their life, and maybe even reverse blindness.”
When Glaucoma Research Foundation (GRF) first learned of Danielle Fiarito, she was a teenager coping bravely with her disease.
Frank and Paul strongly believe that research will ultimately lead to a cure for glaucoma.
“Glaucoma Research Foundation is the best out there. They are ahead of the curve—they’re looking forward for the cure.” — Cathy Wilmoth
“This disease must be conquered. I am taking its cure as a personal challenge.” — Pat Rospenda
