On this year’s day for improving understanding of aniridia around the world, we want you to focus on possibilities:

1. tell everyone what it is possible to do with a visual impairment
2. come together to show there are similar people nearby
3. fundraise and volunteer to enable us to hold a massive event next year

Whatever you do, do it in style: go online to order branded clothing and other merchandise from the new Aniridia Day shop or Aniridia Network shop. All sales raise money for science on aniridia.

Fundraising

Aniridia Network is hosting the European Aniridia Conference 2020 in London.

It will bring together the world’s top aniridia doctors and researchers to improve treatments. The benefits will be felt by all patients worldwide, through the impact of clinical guidelines, scientific articles, and research projects.

We urgently need £40,000 to make it possible to bring together world top aniridia doctors and researchers to improve treatments.. Please do something to help reach that target such as:

• Run a stall, coffee morning etc
• Set up a regular donation
