Judy Ludlam, Director, MOMS for Sight, Inc.,
​Orange Park, FL

Over forty years ago I learned that my sons had X-linked juvenile retinoschisis.  That I had passed on this disease to them.  That they would never be able to see normally.  That one of them would never drive an automobile.  That they would pass on this disease to their daughters who would then become carriers.  That I had passed on this disease to my daughter who became a carrier and passed this disease on to her son.  That it would never get better.  And that there was no cure.  But today we know that this is not true.  Because of the research being conducted with funding by the Foundation Fighting Blindness, there is hope of a cure being found…a cure for our disease and for other retinal degenerative diseases.  This is why I am so proud to be a Director of Moms for Sight, an organization dedicated to helping the Foundation Fighting Blindness.  Because, like all moms the world over, I want the best for my children and grandchildren.
