Usher Syndrome Awareness Day

Gov. Jay Inslee declared Sept. 16, 2017 Usher Syndrome Awareness Day in Washington. We wrote to the governor and asked him to join other states in making the proclamation to draw attention to Usher and the many families it affects in our state and country. Conner was so proud to hold the proclamation. This is just one step in our advocacy efforts, but it’s an important one.
​
Many people don’t know about Usher – and that it’s the leading cause of deafblindness in the nation. We hope to make this an annual proclamation. Thanks to Gov. Inslee for his support of our cause.
