Gifted to the Usher III Initiative
The Usher III Initiative is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit medical research organization dedicated to finding a cure for Usher Syndrome type III, a devastating genetic disorder that causes deaf-blindness. By mid-life, people with this rare disease are often completely deaf and legally blind. Currently, there are no therapeutic options to diminish or halt the disabling sensory loss it causes. Because orphan diseases like USH3 impact small patient populations, resources for medical innovation and drug development are not readily available. This unmet need incentivized Cindy Elden and her father, Richard Elden, to found the The Usher III Initiative almost 20 years ago. Over time, basic scientific research funded by the Initiative led to the discovery of a potential treatment for the disease. Proceeds from this lot will support critical next steps as the Initiative moves towards clinical trials in patients with USH3.
