History
The Choroideremia Research Foundation (CRF) is a 501(c)(3) public charity [1] that was founded in 2000 by choroideremia patients and their family members. CRF’s mission is to fund research towards finding treatment options and a cure for choroideremia (CHM) [2], a degenerative, x-linked [3], inherited retinal disease that causes progressive vision loss [4] which may ultimately lead to blindness. CRF has received the highest rating of Platinum on Candid/Guidestar [5], a 100/100 “Give With Confidence” score on Charity Navigator [6], and is a “Top Rated Nonprofit” on Great Nonprofits [7].
Research
Since its inception, CRF has funded approximately $4.5 million in research [8] including projects in neuroprotection [9], pathophysiology [10][11][12], gene therapy [13][14][15], imaging [16][17][18], stem cell therapy (9), phenotyping (12), and more. CRF has also collaborated to accelerate CHM clinical trials with several industry companies including Nightstar Therapeutics [19], Biogen [20], 4D Molecular Therapeutics [21], and Spark Therapeutics [22][23]. Many research projects have included joint funding collaborations between CRF and the Penn Orphan Disease Center [24], and the Choroideremia Research Foundation Canada [25]. In 2021, an endowment fund was created to fund future research projects [26]. CRF has established a CHM Eye Donation Program [27], a patient registry [28], and a CHM Biobank [29]. CHM is often initially diagnosed as a similar condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa [30]. To educate medical professionals, a Differential Diagnosis Power Point was created [31].
Patient Advocacy
As choroideremia is considered a rare inherited retinal disease [32], CRF is active in advocating on behalf of CHM patients within both the rare disease community and the inherited retinal disease community. Within the rare disease space, CRF is recognized by of the National Organization for Rare Disorders [33], Global Genes [23] and the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences [34]. In the inherited retinal disease space, CRF is actively involved with Retina International [35], the National Society of Genetic Counselors [36], the National Eye Institute [37], the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology [38][39], and the American Society for Gene and Cell Therapy [40].
Patient Education Services
In addition to funding research and advocating for patients internationally, CRF also provides educational programs and supportive services for all those affected by CHM around the world. CRF offers patient navigators [41], webinars [42], virtual social and support groups [43][44], international conferences, regional town hall meetings [45], and offers a speaker’s bureau [46][47]. Many of CRF’s speakers feature inspirational presentations by both patients [48][45][49][50][51] and medical professionals [52][53].
Volunteers and Fundraising
CRF is a grassroots organization largely run by volunteers [54]. Numerous individuals participate in fitness and other community events each year to fundraise for the organization [55][56][57][58][59][60][61]. One notable choroideremia patient is actor EJ Scott [62], husband of actress Deborah Ann Woll [63]. Scott and Woll have both actively created awareness about choroideremia and fundraised for CRF since 2007 [64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74].
