Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
Connor George is a beautiful and sweet 9 1/2 month old who was diagnosed with Prader-Willi Syndrome in early Sept. of 2009. Connor brings a warm smile to the faces of everyone that he meets.
Anyone can be born with Prader-Willi Syndrome. PWS is a complex genetic disorder affecting appetite, growth, metabolism,cognitive function and behavior. It is typically characterized by low muscle tone, short stature, incomplete sexual development, cognitive disabilities, problem behaviors, and the hallmark characteristics -involuntary and uncontrollable chronic feelings of hunger and a slowed metabolism that can lead to excessive eating and life-threatening obesity. At this time there is no cure for PWS. Those who have PWS need intervention and strict external control, including padlocking access to food, to maintain normal weight and to help save their lives.
Connor, dad, mom, friends and family will be walking to benefit the Prader-Willi Syndrome Association on June 12, 2010. Please join us in raising money for our amazing, beautiful little boy and all the other wonderful children ,adults and their families struggling with this syndrome.
On June 12th, 2010 there is a Fundraiser/Walk for the New England PWS Community. This walk is being sponsored by the New England Chapter.
