A family history of vision loss

Mother of four, Kate Cameron, is a longstanding supporter of Fight for Sight. Of her four children, two, Ed and Beth (pictured above) live with ADOA.  

“If I can do anything in my lifetime to help prevent my children from losing any more sight, or to give them the opportunity to give them better sight, then that’s what I’ll do. ADOA isn’t life-threatening, but it’s debilitating and can affect mental health."
