We NEED you to help

Filed under: Family Stuff — April 23, 2007 @ 10:41 am

I wrote before about Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva, and about a little boy in my town, in my homeschool community who has this disease. A story about Justin is in my local paper today and about his mom.

Here’s how you can help:

The association is sponsoring a “Stride to Cure” on May 6 in conjunction with the annual Bay Bridge Walk, a 4.5-mile walk across the scenic Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
Wendy Henke, of Middletown, whose son suffers from FOP, said at least 100 family and friends will take part in the fund-raising walk. For information about walking and obtaining pledges, visit the group’s Web site at www.ifopa.org.

We need you to join in on the “Stride to Cure” walk on May 6th, or we need you to sponsor a walker. If you live in the DC/Baltimore/DelMarVa area, come out for the walk! If you live further away, make a pledge by visiting the IFOPA website posted in the article. The”Stride to Cure” link can be found on the top-right side of the IFOPA website.
Please, We NEED you to help.
