Spring Really Rocked For The FA Project.
News From Richie Currier
For me and the FA Project team, this spring has been really busy. We started off by holding our annual Bowlathon on April 9th. This is a fun event every year and this year was no exception! The proceeds from this year’s event are already partially disbursed to those in need within the FA community. We continued the momentum on April 28th, when I attended Project Adventure in Beverly MA with 30 people directly involved in the FA community. We participated in many team building exercises as well as some individual events. As you can see in the photo below, I had a lot of fun!
Next, we held a combined event with the O’Neil family in support of FARA and the FAProject. At this event I presented a check for $1000 to the Hook family from Indiana from the FAProject. For the past 3 years the Hook family has hosted FAWoodstock which is 3 day event attended by over 100 people/families whose lives have been affected by FA. Our contribution helps lower costs for the hosting family! The same day of our combined event, there was also a fundraiser in New Jersey. The FA Project sponsored travel arrangements for a young woman living with FA. Our sponsorship allowed her to attend this event and spend time with others in the FA community!
On June 30th, I will be taking part in Patrick Cogan’s 100 Mile Ride to aid FARA in finding a cure!
We have many outreach projects in the works, so please stay tuned!
Great photo Richie. Good luck with the ride!
