Guest guest Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 I wanted to update people on the story fundraiser Russ and I (mostly Russ) have been working on. For those of you who are new I will fill you in on the project. We are working on writing & illustrating a children's story that will be sold to raise money and awareness for Progressive Infantile Scoliosis and it will also hopefully be distributed to doctors offices to help educate medical professionals and parents about this condition and increase early diagnosis and treatment. The book will also hopefully be used to introduce families with newly diagnosed children to the condition in a gentle and manageable way. The story is written in such a way that it will act as a metaphor for casting to help children better understand the process. Russ wrote the story and we are working with a wonderful woman, from Sweden who has started to illustrate it. The book is about 1/3 of the way done. It will be done for sure by the end of summer, however if things keep up at this pace we will be looking at sometime around End of May/Beginning of June! Then we will need to ship it out to be printed, but we are getting there! We are very excited at how it is coming together and can not wait to see the final product all published and put together! Here is a link to our family website where I have more information on the book and the illustrations and text for the entire story. http://bit.ly/9OiLCc For just the illustrations see http://bit.ly/bh1uwi Let us know what you think.
