ASF Million Dollar Challenge

Jump to Comments

This is the tenth year of the Angelman Syndrome Foundation National Walk-a-Thon. 

 This can be the year that the ASF passes the one million dollar mark for annual fundraising.  To put it in context to highlight what a big deal this is for the ASF, the first few years the ASF funded almost no research.  Because Angelman Syndrome is “rare”, there isn’t a whole lot of government or private funds going into research. 

To have the potential to surpass the million dollar mark this year is amazing.  It shows the tremendous effort of the staff at the ASF national office.  It shows the huge motivation and dedication of families affected by Angelman Syndrome.  It shows how deep and wide people with Angelman Syndrome are loved and cared for by their families, friends, communities, and companies. 

 

For this past year, the medical research grants offered by the ASF even gained a Nobel Prize winner.  This research is yielding real results that affect our kids now. 

Will you help?  I’d ask any online donations be given through Ashley Williams firstgiving page or the memorial page set up for Dr. Wagstaff.
