Hear See Hope

Saturday June 7, 2008
I just learned about the existence of this nonprofit organization working to fund research into a cure for Usher Syndrome, which causes both deafness and blindness: HearSeeHope. The organization was started by parents of a deaf child with Usher Syndrome. Their second child, just two months old, is also deaf, and the parents know their baby may also have Usher Syndrome.
