Christian Guardino is a 17-year-old singer who competed last year on America’s Got Talent and made it to the semifinals. Christian was diagnosed with Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) as an infant, and his vision continually declined as he got older. At 13, he entered the RPE65 gene therapy clinical trial being conducted by the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and Spark Therapeutics. Since then, Christian has enjoyed a 75–80 percent improvement in his vision. Currently, Christian is serving as a Champion for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
