Walk the Track for Jack
Walk-A-Thon

“Mitzvah Project”
By Joshua Lieberman

Joshua Lieberman (Jack Posnack’s first cousin) is having his Bar Mitzvah on December 15th  2007.  As part of his “Mitzvah Project” he has decided to increase awareness of FD and raise money to find a cure by organizing “WALK-THE-TRACK FOR JACK” walk-a-thon at his school. The event is scheduled for Saturday – October 20th 2007 at 9:00am at Liberty Central School in Liberty, NY.  The rain date is October 27th.  Students are encouraged to get sponsors, and any amount donation is appreciated. 

Why is this important to me?

I guess in my life I took things for granted like all kids my age do. I thought nothing of being able to eat a hot dog, feel pain if something hurt me or cry real tears. My baby cousin Jack can’t do any of the above. I feel the need to raise money for research to help find a cure for his disease. I want my baby cousin to share a milkshake with me at our family’s custard stand or be able to dive with me in my pool without worrying about getting water in his lungs. I want Jack to have as normal of a childhood as possible. I also want people to realize that there now is genetic testing so that no other kid will have to suffer like my little cousin.

How can your pledge help?

Any pledge, of any amount, will be given to the FD Foundation. This foundation is actively researching to find a cure for the disease. Every dollar donated brings us one step closer to finding a cure for Familial Dysautonomia. When we do find a cure, all the FD kids around the world will have a brighter future! Please help spread the word about this disease. Let’s help prevent another child from becoming the victim of this disease.

Thank you in advance for your help and participation!
