One might ask what the connection is between True Blood and the Choroideremia Research Foundation. The answer simply is EJ Scott. EJ is the boyfriend of True Blood actress, Deborah Ann Woll (Jessica Hamby) and he and several of his family members have been diagnosed with Choroideremia.
Choroideremia is a degenerative hereditary eye disease that attacks the peripheral vision and slowly erodes it over time until total blindness.
There is no cure for Choroideremia.
But the Choroideremia Research Foundation has made enormous progress in the development of a cure.
Cory MacDonald, Executive Director of the Choroideremia Research Foundation: ?At this point, we are potentially within two short years of human clinical trials to CURE Choroideremia! Yes, we have come this far, and with the proper funding, we can ensure that people like EJ (and me, for that matter) don?t have to lose the rest of their sight!?
You can ensure that the Choroideremia Research Foundation will be able to continue their work by making a donation, no amount is too small. Many True Blood fans have already donated, join us?. so we can all say in a couple of years that the True Blood fans helped to cure blindness!
