Description
Our key objective is to find a cure for RP, a genetic disease of the eye which results in loss of vision, and often complete blindness. We do this by raising funds for medical research and using this money to stimulate and support cutting edge projects ranging from basic science to clinical trials. We provide a range of information and support services to people with RP and their families.
