If you look closely into my eyes, you may see the scars from the surgeries and regular eye treatments.  I have Retinitis Pigmentosa which is a rare eye disease that causes blindness and currently has no cure. This lion painting is a reminder that despite my long and painful battle with blindness, I am still standing strong like a lion because every scar has made me who I am. I’m an RP warrior and I love who I am so please don’t ever feel sorry for me. Instead, join me and the Foundation Fighting Blindness as we fight to find a cure end blindness.
