World Rb Awareness Week

This week marks World Retinoblastoma Awareness Week, an effort spearheaded by Daisy's Eye Cancer Fund, an organization dedicated raising awareness for pediatric eye cancers and providing resources to those affected.

Needless to say, Katie and I are excited to participate in raising awareness to this issue in any way we can.  To this end, we plan to have several posts this week dedicated to discussing Rb in addition to our regular updates on Edward.  We also plan to slightly change the structure of the blog in the next few days, adding a FAQ section on retinoblastoma.

Today's video post follows an adorable little boy from Greenville, South Carolina who makes monthly trips up to Philadelphia to see Dr. Shields at Wills Eye and Dr. Leahey at CHOP.  The story sounds strangely familiar.... Enjoy!
