Whoa-oh, We're Halfway There..
Halfway through the month. Halfway to my goal of raising $1000. Thanks so much to those who have donated!
My goals in Streaking for Pediatric Stroke (blogging daily about Robbie and hemiplegia) is to finally document our experience, to help raise awareness, and to raise money for CHASA--Children's Hemiplegia and Stroke Association. CHASA is a non-profit organization that offers "information and support to families of infants, children, and young adults who have hemiplegia or hemiplegic cerebral palsy, often due to perinatal stroke, childhood stroke, or other rare causes."
CHASA was founded by parents of children who survived strokes and subsequently have hemiplegia. The founders are active participants in the organization and support groups. I credit CHASA and their online support group (HemiKids) with giving me the knowledge, support, and strength I have needed to make decisions and advocate for my son.
Read more and/or donate (even just a few dollars) here.
Thanks!
