This year, we are back to walking in-person! The walk will be at Little Marina Green in San Francisco on May 14, 2022. Visit here if you want to learn more.
Here’s an update on what Duncan has been up to. After our dog Nolan passed (he was close to 100 in dog years), we adopted Socks, a 2-year-old chihuahua of mysterious lineage who does whatever Socks wants to do. Duncan is back to swimming twice a week at Timpany Center. He enjoys an après-swim trip for coffee and book shopping. The whole family does a half-hour stretch via Zoom each weekday morning. Duncan started his first semester at West Valley College and is taking an essay writing class 2 days a week (one day in-person, one day on Zoom). Duncan and Patti are in a book club with another family; they recently completed the 5th book in the Harry Potter series.
Our Prader-Willi California Foundation supports people with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and their families.
The foundation has been a tremendous help to our son Duncan, my wife Patti, and myself in dealing with the many challenges that PWS presents.
Your donation helps to provide these ongoing services:
- Support of all newly diagnosed families in California
- Funding of PWS Multidisciplinary Medical Clinics
- Maintaining a 24-hour PWS Medical Crisis line
- Providing the only medically specialized camp in California that exclusively serves persons with PWS
- Producing educational articles, brochures, webinars, and a quarterly newsletter
- Providing advocacy and support services to families and care providers
- Educating and supporting teachers, physicians, and allied health professionals
- Weekly chats and activities on Zoom for people with PWS
- Support groups for parents and caregivers of people with PWS
- And so much more!
