As mother of a daughter recently diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa, the FFB has become a very important charity for our family. They make possible the ongoing research into finding cures and treatments for various forms of blindness. Our family has participated in the 'FFB Cycle for Sight' and 'FFB Comic Vision' to raise funds for vision research, but we would like to do more. Mention "Donate 50% to FFB" when purchasing from this website, and 50% of the purchase price will go to the FFB in your name. www.ffb.ca Your new artwork will be shipped directly from the artists' studio, and a contribution towards curing blindness will be sent in your name to FFB. In turn, FFB will send you a confirmation letter thanking you for your contribution.
