Our beautiful first-born daugther, Greta, has Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and I am helping to raise money for the Foundation for Prader-Willi Research. From the day she was born almost 9 years ago, Greta has exerienced so many challenges, things we take for granted. - She struggles to manage her emotions and behaviour-- sometimes every hour, every minute. - Her speech is severely delayed. - Normal kid activities like riding a bike, swimming, or even skipping down the street are extremely challenging due to difficulties with motor planning. - She has learning delays that make new concepts hard to pick up. - Although her slow metobolism requires that she consume roughly half the calories of another child her size, her hypothalamus (brain) doesn't register when her tummy is full so she is constantly hungry regardless of how much she eats. The past two years have been particularly challenging for our family, but we are filled with hope because of the work being done by the Foundation for Prader Willi Research. THEY HAVE A DETAILED RESEARCH PLAN IN PLACE. ALL WE NEED IS THE MONEY. Every dollar you give is one small step towards eliminating the challenges of PWS. Please help. All proceeds from the One SMALL Step walks go to fund the Prader-Willi Syndrome Research Plan jointly created by FPWR and PWSAUSA. Learn more about PWS and this event at http://www.fpwr.org/.
