Canadian family travel world before children go blind

When three of Edith and Sébastian’s four children were diagnosed with a genetic disease that will eventually leave them blind, they decided to give their children as many visual memories as they could - and see the world.

Retinitis pigmentosa is a condition that people are born with and carriers of the gene often do not show signs or symptoms. The family is six months into their year-long trip and have so far travelled to Namibia, Zambia, Tanzania, Turkey, Mongolia and Indonesia.

Most people with this genetic trait do not go blind until thier 60s.

It looks like they’ll see more of the world than many of us anyway, I hope they have a blast and build memories for a lifetime. A treatment may yet be developed (🤞🏼) to rescue the damage to their eyesight.
