Joey's Team- Mike Freni, EJ Freni, Brad Cangiamila
Hello Friends and Family,
After the last two successful Marathon fundraising efforts, we are back to continue fighting with Joey to help other children affected by Autism.
Joey turned four this December and continues to work over 40 hours per week in therapy. Joey remains non-verbal, but he is still working hard and using some sign language and picture exchange speech systems. He is still a happy, energetic kid and is loved by everyone who has had a chance to know him or work with him.
This year my brother EJ and our friend Brad Cangiamila have decided to run and raise money for Joey's Team- we hope our joint efforts can make this year’s fundraising as far reaching as it was last year.
Your contribution to LADDERS will allow the program to continue its day-to-day practices and provide ongoing research and development efforts. Because of today’s high costs of practicing medicine, they lose over $100 for every child they see. A comprehensive evaluation for one child without health insurance costs LADDERS over $1,000. Without our help, the program would struggle to survive.
Please help us raise money for autism and all of Joey’s friends at LADDERS. With the help of friends and family, we have been able to raise over $40,00 for Autism efforts.
Our family is very proud to be surrounded by such supportive friends, family, and the extended network of friends Joey has developed.
Thank you for your continued support!
-Joey, Nick, Troy, Melissa and Mike Freni
