A couple’s gift to NKCF
Wolff was diagnosed with KC at age 17 and has since undergone two corneal transplants and Intacs surgery; he currently wears corrective lenses, which makes his vision around 20/30 in both eyes. Carrie was by his side during two of his surgeries and Wolff jokes that his new spouse has borne the brunt of his poor night driving.
Wolff, an Ohio native, recalls how helpful he found NKCF materials while he was growing up, both in helping showing him there is help available. “People often don’t realize there is a solution,” he says. “KC is treatable. We want to make sure people are educated about KC – especially kids – so they can understand what they are dealing with and that there is hope.”
The Dallas-based couple let their wedding guests know about their donation request, and NKCF set up a special web page for their guests and donors, which has raised more than $4,000 to date.
