BLESSED WITH AN ANGEL
The Geraghty Family…
Hello all!! Yes, Spring is finally here and it’s that time of year when our family is gearing up for the annual Angelman Syndrome walk. In January 2003, our daughter, Grace, was diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome, a somewhat rare genetic disorder characterized by severe developmental delays, lack of speech, short attention span, unusually happy demeanor and the potential for seizures. These characteristics definitely describe our Grace! She is now a lovable, happy 17 year old junior in high school and her growth and progress thus far have been nothing short of amazing!
Hoping you’ll consider joining us or supporting us on Saturday, May 18th in Lisle as we walk to raise funds for and awareness of Angelman Syndrome! The annual national walk serves to improve the day-to-day lives of those with Angelman Syndrome and to raise funds for research and improved medical treatments for those with Angelman Syndrome. For more information on Angelman Syndrome please visit www.angelman.org
We would love for you to join us!! To register for the walk and join our team, Gracie’s Gang, or to make an online donation to our team, please visit click the button below.
Even if walking or donating is not feasible for you at this time, please visit our team page (link above) to see the fantastic progress Grace has made since last year! As always, we thank you for your continued support and prayers.
Sincerely, The Geraghty Family –
John, Sue, Marie, Anna, Grace and Eleanor (SFX Gr. 7.)
