We are Frigo’s Big Challenge, trying to bring awareness to others about Retinitis Pigmentosa, RP. Our son, Bubba, 18 was diagnosed with this a yr and half ago. This eye disease has no cure/treatment and leaves the person with little to no vision remaining. Right now Bubba and his dad, James Sr. are training to ride their bicycles across America to raise awareness and funds for the Foundation Fighting Blindness in hopes to find a cure/treatment. If you can help, please do so at
www.fightblindness.org/goto/FrigosBigChallenge
Their Big Challenge will begin on June 14, 2010 3 day’s after Bubba graduates from High School.

It is a wonderful thing that you are doing for ALL sufferers of rp in the hope of a cure or treatment. So GOOD LUCK from across the pond and keep us posted. Hope the training is going well and I will check back often to see how its going – not long now!
