We are so proud to announce to all that the Eastside
High School in Taylor, South Carolina has raised $47,200 for Dr. Thoene's very
important work trying to develop the model mouse.
We are thrilled, and these amazing students did all this in one
week. We feel so blessed that the students and community cared so much for our
children. Each year the students of Eastside High have a competition with a
rival high school. They both choose an Organization to fundraise for. During a
one week period the student body, raises awareness and funds for their choosen
charity. We are so grateful that this year the student body of Eastside High
choose Cystinosis to raise awareness and funds for research. Cystinosis is now
a household word in Taylor, and Greenville, South Carolina.We also would like
thank Frankie & JT, parents of Laura (with cystinosis) and Christopher for
their persistance.
We know
that you are as overwhelmed as we are. Frankie said that their rallying cry was
CYSTINOSIS YOU ARE GOING DOWN. Perhaps this is a rallying cry we should all
adopt.
If any of our friends and members would like to send a thank you
note to the students of Eastside High, here is the address to send them
to:
