Russell and Margaret Garvin are longtime supporters of the Glaucoma Research Foundation's important work.
For more than 30 years, Russell Garvin has managed his glaucoma. With his devoted and dedicated wife, Margaret, by his side, they have become fierce advocates for glaucoma research. "We believe in Glaucoma Research Foundation and their search for a cure."
Looking for information and guidance, Margaret found Glaucoma Research Foundation and became deeply interested in the unique model of collaboration with the Catalyst for a Cure team. "I've always been an advocate for teamwork," says Margaret. "More gets done faster when people work together. Collaboration is absolutely critical to success."
Thankfully, Russell has been able to keep his vision stable, due to recent advances in glaucoma research and Russell's faithful regimen of eye drops and the wonderful care of his doctor.
"We give to Glaucoma Research Foundation every year because we feel this is the real deal! Plus, giving through our IRA is an easy and tax-smart way to support this important work. The more money donors can give, the more people can be involved in this research, and the faster we can make the breakthroughs and find a cure."
If you are inspired to help create a future free from glaucoma, there are many ways you can make a gift without giving up assets you may need today to fund innovative research to find a cure.
