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.
