Guest guest Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 *Hi,* * * *And welcome to the group. My name is Catrina and I am the grandmother of Brie, 10 months old, diagnosed with bilateral perisylvian PMG and hypotonic cerebral palsy. **We share some common interests in both loving children with PMG as well as a desire to help others through this mire of technical and medical jargon and to find a common place of support and resources. * * * *I'm not sure if you are aware of our organization or not. But we have a nonprofit organization called PMG Awareness Organization, Inc. Our website is www.pmgawareness.org. We started our website in February and the response has been phenomenal. Since then we have been incorporated in the state of Florida, have filed our federal nonprofit paperwork as a 501c3 organization with the IRS, and developed an international following on the internet. **It's been a crazy beginning and our Board has been very busy behind the scenes getting ready to roll out new programs this summer and fall. * * * *This is a much needed resource and we are wholly in support of finding others who are interested in helping and supporting the families of PMG, regardless of whether that comes from our organization, or from others. So, I am not sure if you would be interested in working with PMG Awareness, or if you are interested in starting your own venture. Whatever your desires are, I wanted to say hello and to let you know that we exist and would love to work with you, if you have such an interest. * * * *Please feel free to check out our website. There is a wealth of information and resources there as well as the first family survey, as far as I am aware. Our medical advisory board, myself, and our Board are working to get the information extrapolated and put into an abstract that we hope to present at the world genetics conference in November. If you haven't been able to take advantage of the survey, we surely hope you will do so. The information gathered there will help to make the needs of our families known. Also, our IT director is working on a new website that I think will be much more user friendly and hopefully will be up in the next few weeks. * * * *Please let me know if you have an interest in our group or if we can help in any way. We truly believe that working together, we can unlock the mysteries of PMG.* * * *With Appreciation,* * * *Catrina Byrge, R.N. (and Brie's Gram)* *CEO* *PMG Awareness Organization, Inc.* *www.pmgawareness.org* *catrina@...* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
