THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO HELPED WITH THE FD WALK FOR KIDS

To Everyone with a Heart:

Cure FD Foundation just received this poem, written by a boy with FD (Familial Dysautonomia) ---the genetic disease (from birth) that Cure FD is dedicated to helping fund a cure for by donating your contributions to the Lab for FD Research at Fordham University, the only place where helpful treatments are being generated at this time. You will want to read this, remembering that there are many hundreds of children just like the one who wrote this poem, and Cure FD Foundation is here to directly send your contributions to that Lab so that help for their suffering will be on its way NOW.

F.D.

Having FD is not easy

Always having the disease with me

Being unlike everyone else

Needing special treatments

Like a nurse giving me medicine

Having to do surgery

For my curved back, from scoliosis

A metal rod

In my back

Beeps in the metal detector

Getting painful and excruciating headaches

Blood pressures very high and low

Making me faint

Making me vomit

Hoping for a cure

Wishing with all my might

Hoping every day

Never losing faith

Praying and hoping for that glorious day
