No child should go blind due to a preventable eye disease

On this World Cancer Day, we’re raising awareness about retinoblastoma.
This childhood eye cancer often presents itself as a white, opaque, or yellow spot in the pupil of a child's eye—most visible in flash photos, dim lighting, or near bright windows.

Please help spread the word about The Glow and join us as we stand in solidarity with all children and families affected by cancer worldwide. 🌍
Together, we can support critical research initiatives aimed at early detection, better treatments, and brighter futures.

Let’s create a world where every child has the chance to grow, thrive, and see.
