Griffin Pinkow

Hello! My name is Griffin Pinkow. I suffer from retinitis pigmentosa which is a retinal degenerative disease. At the age of 12, I was playing baseball and realized that I was having trouble seeing balls in the outfield. Before my diagnosis of RP, I thought I was someone who just couldn’t see very well in the dark, but with the diagnosis, I knew it was related to a much bigger problem. As I finished up high school, I had accepted that I couldn’t change the fate of my vision. I then began asking myself, how can I overcome my visual impairment?

In college, I worked with several organizations that represented the visually impaired. I enjoyed working with these organizations but found that they were focused solely on research and not on the individual living life without sight.

While attending Susquehanna University in 2013 I began laying the groundwork to start the Foreseeable Future Foundation. Our focus is improving the lives of the V.I.P.s through sports and recreation.

Our mission is to enable the visually impaired to live fulfilling lives and to increase public awareness of challenges faced by the blind. We are committed to bringing the sighted and sightless community together to build one network that is mutually beneficial and enriching for all.
