School Assignment

I have a 16 yr old son- who has been given an assignment to take a less known about illness or desease research it speak to the professionals create a report, and also create flyers and raise money for his cause. I think he also mentioned something about t-shirts or bracelets (iam not 100% sure i will have to ask him again)

he has chosen to do it on CHIARI w/ a side mention on Hydro.

I told him to contact conquer chiari to see if he can use them as his sponsor or whatever they call that and all moneys donated will go to them.  Anyone have any suggestions?
I am really pleased he has chosen to do it on CHIARI, a teen bringing this to the top of things just might help even if its in a small way! :)

The csfinfo.org web site has a lot of great info too. It's great to hear about any little bit of recognition and getting the word out there. Good luck!

No kidding...that is a huge project!! Don't you love it when teachers do that? Mine is only 12 but I am already finding that, he will get sent home a huge project to do in one weekend and what happens is it is a weekend of homework for me too!!

Anything I can do to help, let me know!

i already spoke with NS and he and his sect are more then willing to help out.
i gave him the information for conquer chiari, now hes got a lot of work to do to get this done. sounds like it would be a great project but it think they should have given them more then a month. to gather all the information.and stuff.

Lisa...wonderful !!!

I would contact ur NS and tell them about it...they should be willing to help. Plus, he can get the whole school involved in the Chiari walk in Sept....and do a dance or something now.

I also would be interested in what the finished project is.....
