Thank you for visiting the Jake Blovits Angel Hope Fundraising Page for the 2007 Angelman Syndrome Walk-a-thon on May 19th 2007 in Grand Rapids, MI . Jake and his family and friends (otherwise know as the Angel Hope Team) will be walking 2.9 miles to raise funds and awareness of Angelman ' s Syndrome, and would like to invite anyone to join us! Here is a link to info on the address, times, and directions to the walk: http://www.angelman.org/angel/index.php?id=183. The 2.9 mile walk may not seem to be a long way, but it sure is for Jake! Last year was a great experience for him, and you can take a look at a photoshow collage of last year's walk at http://photoshow.comcast.net/viewshow/Nu5YP5kk. Jake’s Angelman’s Syndrome has a wide variety of symptoms, including global low muscle tone, mental retardation, and a seizure disorder. He is mostly non-verbal, though always trying, and he understands most of what is said to him (providing he is paying attention to you!). Jake knows his numbers and letters, and can type a growing list of names and words on a computer. He uses a “Dynamo” communication device to allow him to pick specific words or phrases, link them in a sentence, and speak them. He always tries hard to learn and grow, and has an infectious smile and laugh like all Angelman kids, and we are very proud of him. If you’d like to learn more about Jake, click on this link to read a simple page we’ve prepared to help people working with Jake get to know him: home.comcast.net/~tblovits/jake.htm. NEW - see the article about Jake and the walk in our local Saline Reporter newspaper!: http://home.comcast.net/~tblovits/Jakeinthenews.pdf. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts. Many thanks for your support -- and please feel free to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too! This website allows you to make a credit card donation to sponsor Jake in his walk. If you would prefer to sponsor with a check made out to the Angelman Syndrome Foundation, please send an email to jblovits@comcast.net, and we will make note of your donation and give you an address to send to. The credit card donation is the easiest and most cost effective way for the foundation to receive your donation, but any form of payment is okay with us! If you aren ' t able to walk or donate, we certainly understand, but we hope you can take a moment and visit the Angelman Syndrome website at www.angelman.org and learn a little more about what makes Jake our special Angel. Thanks & Best Wishes, The Blovits Family - Jack, Terri, Jake, Samantha, & Eric
