unite@night to Help Raise Money for Chiari Malformation: June 15th

united @ nightThanks to Kyle Citro for alerting us to the very important event coming to Richmond.

walk

This is the 1st year for this walk in Richmond, and they are hoping to make it a great success. Kyle’s daughter has Chiari Malformation, Ehler’s Danlos Syndrome as well as Mitochondrial Disease. She had brain surgery last year to help with symptoms as there currently is no cure.

unite@night will be a one mile casual evening walk, in various locations around the country, during the month of June. This walk will bring together people who are suffering with the devastating effects of Chiari malformation, syringomyelia, and related disorders. Richmond’s walk is at Innsbrook on June 15, 2013.

unite@night will support CSF Chapters and Co-Ops to provide education and increase awareness while funding research projects that can potentially find answers to help those who are fighting these disorders.

Watch the video below to learn more. Mark your calendars now for this walk to increase awareness and further research. Even if you can’t make the walk, click here to support Kyle’s team by donating. Every $1 helps!
