Our event takes place at Holy Family University & Fleuhr Park in Philadelphia, PA. The past 3 years we've had specialists and doctors come and speak prior to the walk. The funds we raise we donate to Holy Redeemer Hospital because that's the last hospital that Amy went to before she passed. They provided the best care she received out of all the hospitals she went to. We also have Digene come out and they give out pamphlets. We've been trying to get Merck to back us up and take part in their 'One Less' campaign, but unfortunately we haven't had much luck with that. We're always looking for suggestions to better our fund and try to help more people. We don't have the means right now, but I hope we continue to grow. No woman should have to suffer this disease the way Amy did and many other women do. Feel free to check out our myspace page: www.myspace.com/amysfund |
"MDJunction has become a lifeline to my recovery. I use this site as a daily coping tool where i can share my thoughts,my fears and ask ways to cope with living life with a illness. I also found new friends here and they have restore my faith in humanity. People everywhere come here to share same problems or solutions to problems we encounter in our lives. MDjunction is a wonderful site and has help not only myself but also my family and friends. I recommend this site to anyone who thinks they are alone dealing with an illness and also to those who have love ones who suffer from illnesses. I will keep spreading the word about MDJunction to organizations who deals with illnesses that would benefit having MDjunction as a support system.Bottom line is.. I found myself again through MDJunction" (mobey)
