As many of you have heard, April Marsaglia’s son Bryce was diagnosed this summer with RP (Retinitis Pigmentosa), which is a congenital, degenerative eye disease.  In his case, it manifested itself initially in “night blindness”.  Subsequently, Bryce is beginning to lose his peripheral vision.  While he hopes to maintain his central vision, it is probable that total blindness will occur.  Bryce recently accepted the challenge of participating in the Second Annual St. Louis VisionWalk, a big step in boosting research for retinal degenerative diseases, hosted by the Foundation Fighting Blindness (FFB). The Walk is on September 27^th and will be held at Tower Grove Park's Sons of Rest Pavilion.
