The Ocular Immunology and Uveitis Foundation is a 501c(3), not-for-profit, tax-exempt organization based at the Massachusetts Eye Research and Surgury Institution in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Our mission is to find cures for ocular inflammatory diseases, to erase the worldwide deficit of properly trained ocular immunologists, and to provide education and emotional support for those patients afflicted with ocular inflammatory disease. Why this cause? Destructive inflammatory diseases (OID) of the eye, such as uveitis, are the third leading cause of preventable blindness in developed countries. Our goal of the walk is to stop blindness from OID/UVEITIS and find a Cure.

My personal message:
In Nia’s Words:
I am walking to raise money for my doctor’s research. Please donate any amount to assist me.
Thanks,
Nia
Initially diagnosed in 2004, Nia has been successfully fighting uveitis for four years. Her success has come through cutting edge medications researched and put into use by Dr. Foster. Funds raised will support his ongoing research and contribute directly to Nia’s triumph over uveitis.
