The best way for you to help Finley and her cause is help us fundraise on Finley's behalf, or give directly to the fund. Checks can be made out to RDH12 Fund for Sight. Most of you have given already to us this year for our VisionWalk, and we thank you. We now hope you will consider adding to your list of annual charitable donations the RDH12 Fund for Sight so that it can provide the research needed to find a cure for Finley. Every cent you donate goes toward research to cure Finley of RDH12. And because the RDH12 Fund for Sight is part of a non-profit organization, your donation is tax deductible.

You can also fundraise among your family and friends, at your job (maybe a dress down day), at your church. We have ready made packets that we can mail to you. The packets include an introduction letter, a little story about Finley, and an explanation about why you are helping us to raise money. You can take information from this website. If you are willing to conduct a fund raiser, we will work with you to provide everything you might need. We can give you ideas, and help as much as you would like us to.

We have already enjoyed fantastic support from those close to us and together we have raised almost $66,000 for the RDH12 Fund for Sight. (This does not include what the other RDH12 Families have raised - just our family and friends). We want to recognize some of those who have held fundraisers on Finley's behalf. This does not include the multiple individual donations that we have received.
