A cure is in sight.

Kristy Furg along with The Foundation Fighting Blindness walk for a cure. Community is important to me so whenever I am offered the opportunity to give back, I welcome it.  This specific charity has raised over $10 million to fund sight-saving research. As a visual artist, I rely on my sight everyday so contributing to a cause that can help save sight is a very natural fit. 

(The glasses pictured below are painted solid black except for a dime sized area to replicate the vision of someone with Retinitis Pigmentosa.)
