Jack McGovern Coats' Disease Foundation

Jack McGovern Coats' Disease Foundation Vision: To find a cure for Coats’ Disease. They have since learned that some research has been conducted on the disease, but much, much more is needed.

Mission: To raise funds to support research, raise awareness, expand patient resources, and offer all Coats’ Disease patients hope and improvements as they wage a lifelong battle against Coats’ Disease. In 2006, Ed and Tina McGovern discovered that their son Jack had developed a rare retinal disease in his left eye called Coats disease. With three annual events per year, a growing community of sup

porters, and over $150,000 dollars in donations for research, the JMCDF has made a dent in the work that needs to be done to cure Coats. We appreciate your support! Contact the page admins for more information or email at [email protected]
