Our son Hayze was diagnosed with Congenital Glaucoma at 4 months. He has currently underwent 2 surgeries in the last 2 months. There are currently no Glaucoma Awareness walks/runs in the Philadelphia area. The plan is to change this. January is Glaucoma Awareness month. The goal is to fundraise money to help organize a 5k run/walk bringing awareness to Glaucoma within our community. Most people only know about glaucoma within adults specifically in seniors. 1 out of 8,000 children are diagnosed with PCG, Hayze is 1 of them. Primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) accounts for approximately 50% to 70% of all cases of childhood glaucoma. We appreciate all support in advance, with hope that we can make others aware and knowledgeable about Glaucoma overall.
