The Barbara Perrin
Glaucoma Fund
Glaucoma is a frightening disease. Unannounced, it
gradually destroys the vision and is said to be the second leading
cause of blindness in the world. There is no cure and lost
vision cannot be restored. Only proper medicine or surgery can
slow or stem its progress.
Barbara Perrin was diagnosed with glaucoma in 1993 and underwent
both procedures. In the course of her treatments, she found
that medication could be effective, but that it was very expensive
and that dosage must be continued. After her own condition was
stabilized, her thoughts turned to those glaucoma victims whose
sight was deteriorating because they could not afford the cost of
the medication. Her response to this concern was to create the
Barbara Perrin Glaucoma Fund to help provide, to the extent
possible, glaucoma sufferers in the Greater Lansing area with the
appropriate prescribed medicine.
If you would like to provide help for individuals suffering the
affects of Glaucoma in the greater Lansing area, please designate
your contribution to the Barbara Perrin Glaucoma Fund, and send the
contribution to the Lions of Michigan Foundation - 5730 Executive
Drive, Lansing, Michigan.
