Jack Zito
Jack “Attack” is a spunky and energetic five-year-old who exudes creativity and passion. He truly lives life to the fullest, always seeking new adventures and excited to try new experiences. He dives headfirst into any challenge thrown his way, always finding a creative solution with such determination. His positive spirit is infectious!
Jack also happens to be one of the 25,000 people living in the United States with Usher syndrome. Usher syndrome is a rare inherited condition that impacts three major senses – vision, hearing, and balance. Jack has Type 2, which presents with hearing loss at birth and gradual vision loss. The vision loss begins with night blindness and slowly peripheral vision deteriorates until only central vision remains.
At the moment, there is not a cure for Usher syndrome but there is hope! We have teamed up with scientists around the world who are focusing their studies on treatments that can help Jack’s type of Usher syndrome (2C). Our goal is to save this spirited boy’s vision before it starts to deteriorate, and we would greatly appreciate any support you can provide!
