Fall is the start of a new year for so many of us, in so many different ways. The kids are back at school, the calendar is once again packed, and there is the faintest hint of a crispness in the air. Ivy Scherbarth and I talk about this time of year in our co-blog this month – the simultaneous longing for the lazy days of summer and the excitement of starting a new chapter recharged. PPMD had no summer break. We went straight from Connect Conference mode to Coach To Cure MD and our first End Duchenne Gala. Two exciting awareness and fundraising events – one marking five incredible years, the other launching in New York City this December. We’ve also welcomed a new family member. Mary Connolly joins PPMD as Vice President of Development. She comes to PPMD with years of experience in nonprofit fundraising and is a passionate runner. Read her blog and meet this great addition to our team, who has hit the ground running to help end Duchenne. Speaking of Coach To Cure MD, we also want to introduce you to our Featured Voice for September, Connor Vassigh. At 6 ½ years old, he and his family have supported the program for the last few years by hosting a “Muscle Party” in Connor’s honor. Meet this great first grader and take a moment to join our team if you haven’t already done so!
With school back in session, we have some important information for you on flu vaccinations, medical alert bracelets, and a downloadable webinar on IEPs. We are also launching a three-part webinar series on cardiac issues featuring the most knowledgeable cardiologists in the Duchenne space. Make sure you start the school year off informed and armed with knowledge.
Have a wonderful autumn and we’ll see you on TVs across the country September 29 for the 5th Annual Coach To Cure MD!
