History
The Choroideremia Research Foundation (CRF) is a 501(c) public charity whose mission is to raise funds in support of scientific research leading to a treatment or cure of choroideremia (CHM), a hereditary retinal-degenerative disease that causes blindness, and to educate people affected by the disease and the public.

Mission
CRF has funded research in CHM pathophysiology, gene therapy , imaging , among other areas. The international organization advocates on behalf of CHM patients within both the rare disease and the inherited retinal disease communities and provides in person educational conferences and online virtual programs. Volunteers support the organization’s mission by coordinating fundraising events. Actor EJ Scott, who has been diagnosed with CHM, and his wife, actress Deborah Ann Woll, have both publicly supported CRF since 2017.
