INITIATIVES: Rochester presents: "Step It Up! For Alyssa & Cerebral Palsy" (June 30th @ Jack Astors, Vaughn)
There are countless excuses we can use to explain why we don’t financially show our support for the artists making the music we love.
Here’s one way that leaves no room for excuses.
“Alyssa is my 6 year old daughter and she is suffering from Cerebral Palsy.
I love her so much and it’s hard to see my child grow up not being able enjoy the life of a normal child. She’s not walking and is barely talking so you can imagine all the frustration it causes for her and our family. Although we are blessed that we live in Ontario and there’s a lot of helpful programs for Alyssa, after 5 years me and her mother feel that what we’re doing is simply not enough.
We’ve done a lot of research on it and although there is no cure there are treatments that can help Cerebral Palsy be reduced significantly. Such as a Glutten-Free diet, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy & Stem Cell Treatment.
Problem is, these treatments are not covered under OHIP so we’ve decided to ask all our friends and extended family to join us for a fundraiser that will help bring awareness and the financial support needed to help Alyssa and other children like her get through this disability.
So come out on June 30th for not only a great time, a great show and a great cause
It would truly mean the world to me.
btw if you’re not available to come out for whatever reason you can still donate to WWW.HELPALYSSAWALK.COM which will be launching on June 30th”
