my name is Evan Mitman I am on the board of directors of the
Foundation Fighting Blindness
and forty years ago
i was told that i had retinitis pigmentosa and obviously
it was devastating
no answers, no cures, no hope.
Today we have hope.
cures are insight
and it is just
fantastic to be apart of this
incredible foundation
only good things ahead
So, thank you, and the foundation for this incredible walk today
Hi my name is Bonnie and my three daughters, Stephanie, Lisa and Amy
are doing all this raffle work
for "Ry's Guys."
My Grandson has Stardgarts, and we're hoping that the foundation will help find a treatment for him.
It's been a great day; beautiful weather, and we're having a ball.
We've raised almost $35,000! We did great.
Hi, I'm Dave Morrison. I'm walking for my daughter, Sarah.
Who is loosing her eyesight.
She's got Usher Syndrome
which is really not uncommon within the deaf community
Sarah's also legally deaf.
we're hoping with the money raised today we can help find the cure
for all types of retinal diseases.
Hi, I'm Debbie Mitman, I'm president of the Westchester Chapter.
This is our 5th walk.
it's better than ever
The turnout is amazing. The weather is a beautiful day the
location
couldn't be nicer and the raffles
are just unbelievable and
the team that we have working together to make this walk
so successful is just unbelievable.
we've just never had a team like this it's just great and we will find a
cure.
going into the walk we've raised... we were over one hundred thousand.
Our goal is one hundred and fifty
I'm sure by the end of today we will get there. And we will find a cure.
My name is Jeremy. I'm on the team "YesEyeCan."
uh... my mother is the chair of the walk and she has done just a fantastic
job organizing this day. I don't think she ordered the weather but everything else that you see
or have seen has been uh... her work she's done an amazing
job. She's raised Thousands of
dollars nearly fifty thousand
she started doing work with the organization. I was diagnosed with RP four years ago and
she's working tirelessly ever ever since. S he makes my life so much easier
because I'm able to live, and she's able to be the one who handles giving me
hope that will find a cure some day
a which makes my life all... it makes all the difference. It makes everything so
much easier. She's been amazing and
this walk would not have happen without her. We wouldn't be raising millions of dollars
all across the country without her and without everybody who came today so i
From the bottom of my heart and i'm sure the other people who have RP would feel
the same way, we're just so grateful about events like this
