Choroideremia is a degenerative eye disease that affects Woll’s boyfriend, E.J. Scott. While Scott currently has some sight left, the estimate is that he may only have ten years left before he is completely blind. Within that time, the pair plan to have children. This, however, has it’s own set of complications:
“If we have a boy, he won’t have the disease. If we have a daughter, she will be a carrier but most likely won’t have severe symptoms. If she has boys, there’s a 50-50 chance they’ll have it. Our children can be healthy and happy with Chm. E.J. is. Still, when I think of him not seeing our kids, as they grow…”
Scott also has a bucket list and the pair of them have been working though it:
“We did the Grand Canyon on the way to Chicago. We did Europe. He was an extra on True Blood this season, and the cast has been really supportive, donating things for us to auction off on eBay to raise money for research.”
These auctions have been very popular. With the completion of last one, Deborah was kind enough to post this video of the drawing of the winner:
So you missed out on the last fundraiser? Or you name wasn’t picked out of the hat? Well, don’t worry, because E.J. Scott and Deborah Ann Woll have another one going right now! The following details on the auction are below:
