If you or a loved one has recently been diagnosed with an inherited retinal disease, you are not alone. Over 2 million people worldwide live with conditions like retinitis pigmentosa, Stargardt disease, Bardet-Biedl syndrome, and dozens of other inherited eye conditions that threaten vision. Finding reliable, up-to-date information can feel overwhelming — especially when your diagnosis is rare. That's why A Race Against Blindness built the IRD Education Hub.

A recent independent article explored an important question: Why would a childhood blindness nonprofit give away a Ford Raptor? This article explains how innovative fundraising helps accelerate rare disease research, clinical trials, and hope for families affected by inherited retinal diseases.

A Race Against Blindness has committed $1 million toward inherited retinal disease research through a partnership with the Foundation Fighting Blindness and the RD Fund. With matching funds, the total impact of this commitment will reach $1.55 million, helping advance promising therapies for families affected by vision loss.
