Happy Prader-Willi Syndrome Awareness Month!
It is so exciting to see how many people are hosting events to celebrate our children with Prader-Willi Syndrome. Yesterday, the first two One Small Step 2011 walks took place. It is so exicitng watching all of our hard work start to become a reality.
The Foundation for Prader-Willi Research is also holding a contest to win an Apple iPad 2 in connection with the One SMALL Step event.
Here is the bulletin.....
FPWR and PWSA (USA) invite the PWS community to participate in our May Campaign for PWS Awareness month. Our One SMALL Step International event includes 47 locations world-wide and is targeted to fund phase one of the Research Plan jointly developed by the FPWR and PWSA (USA).
It’s easy AND you can win the new iPAD 2!How does it work?
1. Register and create your own page today: http://onesmallstep.fpwr.org/
2. Email your page to at least 5 people (including Tanya.johnson@fpwr.ca)
3. When Tanya receives your personal page, your name will be entered into our iPAD 2 draw
4. What’s the catch? The draw will only take place if 250 personal pages are created by May 31st.
Our PWS community is called to come together and to take one small step for PWS. Everyone is eligible, from any country, state, city or town – join one of our existing locations or sign up as a virtual walker – the choice is yours! Good luck – our lucky winner will be announced on June 1st!
The entire process takes a total of 5 minutes. To view an example of a personal page created by Tiffany in Doylestown, PA, click here: http://onesmallstep.fpwr.org/dw/users/tiffanymccauley/doylestown
