K.U.R.E.'s Research Publications
Congratulations to Dr. Thorne & Dr. Jabs on their second
article "Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis-Associated Uveitis: Incidence
of Ocular Complications and Visual Acuity Loss". This article follows "Risk Factors for Ocular Complications
and Poor Visual Acuity at Presentation Among Patients With Uveitis Associated With Juvenile Idiopathc Arthritis", both artilces were published in American Journal of Opthalmology.
Partially funded by K.U.R.E., these
studies were performed by the research team on behalf of K.U.R.E.
These articles are rich with information! If you would like

K.U.R.E. Fundraising
Over 240 individuals have donated over $105,000! Donors to K.U.R.E. are our family and friends,
they are our neighbors and from as far away as New Zealand and Australia. Donors are our parents and people we have not yet
met. Our donors range in age from 8 years old to 93 years old. Some donors have sold lemonade to raise money,
classmates have decorated and sold "flip flops" in support, and some have sold K.U.R.E. friendship bracelets. What K.U.R.E. donors have in common is their support of children with a shared diagnosis trying to connect and help
each other to a future filled with sight.
K.U.R.E. in the News
LOOK in the April 2008 issue of Glamour magazine, page 258! You'll see a photo of Sarah and an
explanation of her fund raising efforts on behalf of K.U.R.E.
We have not seen Sarah playing
too much basketball before; but love the photos and opportunity!
