Mary Lou Buell's Fundraising Page

Stepping Out To Cure Scleroderma

Walk, Talk & Rock

In Memory Of

Mary Van Neste (1940-2008)

Sunday, June 28, 2009 ~ Nelson Street Beach ~ Plymouth, MA

Thank you for visiting the Team Buell Fundraising Page.   Jeff, Pat, Ronnie, Nora, Aggie and I walked, talked and rocked despite the chilly wet weather on June 28th.  We remembered my mother, raised awareness of scleroderma and helped fund the research and support efforts of the Scleroderma Foundation-New England Chapter, a chapter my mother helped start more than 30 years ago.

Thank you so much to everyone who donated here and to our off-line donors and their families: Mary Lynn Carson, Meg Shashaty, Caren Harrison, Kathy Barry, Bridget Jaklitsch, Christopher Sacchi, Margaet Malone Caverly, Brian Baumeister and Kathy Garvey.  Extra special thank yous to Chrissy and Chloe Richards--you rock!  Lastly, I need to mention the efforts of Vinny DiSessa--Weymouth High School retiree and substitute teacher for the past 20 years--who rallied his friends and family members and raised $914 for scleroderma research. 

This site will be accepting donations all summer (until August 30th) and if not this year, we are already talking about making the Plymouth Walk an annual event---so we will catch you in 2010!
