...and USHER BRIGHTNESS 2016 is calling!
From heart, I want to thank everyone who supported research in the Usher Syndrome this year. Many of you probably heard of Ushers for the first time and to me, it has been very important that you know of this syndrome now and even spread my message. Thank you very much.
With gratitude, I especially want to thank the donors:
Leonardo Schurr, Annika Onken, Lorena Onken, Karin Pirkenseer-Scherer, Regina Scherer, Nathanael Turban, Michael und Krista Koch, Karl und Dagmar Jost, Birgit Laun, Dirk und Iris Moos, Ursula Onken,Christa Deuvilaseca, Bjorn Pletsch, Lore Bender, Pius Goetz, Manfred Weilandt, Mirko Joseph Dugonik, Prof. Dr. Gert Koenig, Franz Zimny, Lothar und Erika Hahn, Andreas Hierold, Kurugoel Hact-Mehmet, Marlene Mahr, Hans-Joachim-Stumpf, Joachim u. Constanze Zehn, Evelin Heier, Magret Piening, Ruth Gruenig, Harald Gussmann, Siegfried u. Ingrid Zimmermann, Dr. Barbara Katsimbaris, Eberhard u. Christine Schell, Gabriele Wiegand, Susan Hofmann, Elfriede Pac, Anna Sauter, Katharina Peters, Stefan Buehner, Elke Betsch, Magdalene Bingenheimer, Anne Heimann, Markus Schweiger, Oliver Staab, Werner Reich, Manfred Janoschka, Katrin Leadley, Laure, Matias Porras, Anthony Montesinos, Rose Gazzerro/Langford, Wäsch- und Grundstücks GMBH & CO. KG and all of those who did not want me to mention their names.
A very special thank you goes to the Schrott Hofmann GmbH&Co. KG, as well as Kornelia Beer.
4.888,00€ have been raised for two Usher projects in Germany. $310,00 for one Usher project in Canada.
If someone of you wants to know what exactly the researchers investigate in each project, let me know by mail: laura@ushrbrght.cc
In 2016, I will give my best to get connected with researchers who will maybe find solutions to treat Usher Syndrome in my lifetime. But it is and will be the chain: Fundraiser-Donor-Researcher-Patient. Means, donors will always be an important part of this process.
Have a great start into an exciting New Year!
