It is with deep regret that we communicate the death of one of our Founders, Dorothy Acton. Ms Acton co-founded Fuchs-Friends, an information and support on line group for people with Fuchs’ Corneal Dystrophy that has grown since its beginning to over 1500 people in over 40 countries.  Dorothy was also a member of our Board of Directors and the current President.

Ms Acton will be greatly missed by her family in Michigan, her many friends around the world and also by this organization and its Directors, Officers and staff.
