#63 Two Blind Brothers: on a mission to cure blindness


Listen Later

Lewis talks with brothers Bradford and Bryan Manning co founders of Two Blind Brothers, who are on a mission to cure blindness. The funds from two blind brothers are driving life-changing treatments such as the “Voretigene Neparvovec” treatment, a gene therapy developed by Spark Therapeutics. 70% of their workforce are blind or visually-impaired in the factory in Dallas, Texas.
At a young age, the brothers were both diagnosed with an eye disease that destroys central vision over time. In this episode they talk about how they are fighting back, leaving their former careers in finance to start a clothing company, Two Blind Brothers, which is one of the fastest growing charitable clothing brands in the country with endorsements from Ellen DeGeneres, Ashton Kutcher, Richard Branson, NBC Nightly News, and many others.
