California, Let's come together and help Alyssa.
Alyssa is the precious daughter of CSU Fresno Legislative Director Darrell Wong. She is diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome. Darrell wrote a resolution this past year, which was passed at our last CNSA Convention. In part, it reads:
"Resolved, that CNSA advocate for the AS community by encouraging students to
visit angelman.org, cureangelman.org, and by encouraging chapter involvement in
the annual Angelman Syndrome National Walk in May."
The walk is on May 19, 2012 in Sacramento, William Land Park (at the Village Green).
Below, you will find a YouTube video starring Alyssa and her big brother, Jonathan. It's full of childlike hope and the bounding energy for life. For more information on how you can get involved, please click on this link --> Alyssa's ASF 2012 National Walk

Current photo taken by: Corinne MacEgan, SN, BSN San Diego State University - May 2012 Lake Cuyamaca, California The fog was coming in one night over the lake during one of my camping trips, and it was extremely beautiful. I snapped a photo and only darkened it slightly on my computer. No other editing was done. It was enough to give me goosebumps! |
