Welcome!
Dedicated to our son Jack who was diagnosed with Coats in 2006, the Jack McGovern Coats Disease Foundation is an effort to increase awareness about Coats Disease and other forms of childhood blindness, raise money to fund new research, and cultivate a community of patients, parents, and medical professionals for support. Our goal is to fund important research and in the meantime, to help all those affected. 100% of the funds that we raise are used for scientific research. We invite you to participate in any way that you can, and we hope you find the resources and support you need from our foundation.
-Ed and Tina McGovern, JMCDF Founders
