Joseph Rizzo's Fundraising Page
I am running the Boston Marathon in (April) 2010 -- this will be my first marathon !!
I decided to run the marathon to raise money to support my research, which is dedicated to restoring vision to the blind. Our Boston Retinal Implant Project is a collaboration among the Harvard Medical School / Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Veterans Administration. Our team has developed a computer-chip device (i.e. a "retinal prosthesis") to implant around the eye to restore vision to patients with either retinitis pigmentosa or age-related macular degeneration.
Your support will be greatly appreciated, both by our team and by our patients, who are hopeful that our advanced technology will improve their quality-of-life.
It is quite easy to donate on-line through this site. You will receive a tax-deductible receipt for your contribution. You can also send a check, which would be made payable to: Joseph Rizzo, M.D./ Foundation of MEEI. This check should be sent to:
Development Office, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, 243 Charles St., Boston, MA 02114.
I would really appreciate your support. You can also help me by forwarding my fundraising page to your friends or family. My address is: www.firstgiving.com/josephrizzo
