Why genetic testing matters
Inherited retinal conditions can affect a baby, a child or an adult. A genetic test is how a family finds out exactly what they are facing, and whether a treatment or clinical trial might be possible. These tests are often not covered by government or medical aid, so many families cannot afford them. This Giving Tuesday, your gift helps fund genetic testing, counselling and support for families who cannot afford it.
Three Lives. One Fight
A baby, a child and an adult, each touched by a genetic retinal condition. Their stories show what families like theirs face. Your gift supports families like these, people living with inherited retinal conditions who cannot afford testing on their own.
