SUMMARY:Being My Child's Protector\, Advocate\, and Decision-Maker in the NICU Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Anticipating the birth of a child can be one of the happiest times for parents. But when babies have life-threatening medical issues and begin their lives in the NICU\, everything can change. For some parents\, this may mean navigating a new role: learning how to navigate the NICU and communicate with the medical team; figuring out what matters most to their baby and family; considering intense medical interventions\, interpreting medical jargon; seeking clarity in the absence of a clear prognosis; building a trusting relationship with the baby’s medical team. \nJoin Dr. Monica Lemmon and several experienced NICU parents\, for a discussion about strategies to build helpful parent-clinician alliance and parental confidence in decision-making for the newborn in the NICU. \nThis event will take place on Thursday\, February 27th at 8:00 pm EST (7:00 pm CT\, 6:00 pm MT\, 5:00 pm PT). \nRegister here

SUMMARY:NORD (National Organization for Rare Disease ) Color Run for CdLS
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a new\, fun event to raise awareness and funds for our CdLS community.\nThe Eckerd College Science Outreach Club has recently established a Students for Rare chapter affiliated with the National Organization for Rare Disorders. Their mission is to raise awareness about rare diseases and advocate for equitable access to healthcare for individuals within the rare disease community. Through education\, outreach\, and advocacy\, the organization aims to amplify the voices of those affected by rare conditions and work toward a more inclusive and supportive healthcare system. \nMadi McCune\, a senior and member of the Science Outreach Club (SOC)\, chose the CdLS Foundation because Madi did a research project through Harvard Medical School this past summer at Massachusetts General Hospital’s Center for Genomic Medicine that focused on the pathophysiology of cohesinopathies\, CdLS being the most prominent. Learning about this disease encouraged her and her chapter to involve ourselves further by creating a fundraiser to support future research and the families impacted by this rare genetic disorder. \nSupport Madi and the Eckerd College Science Outreach Club Students and their NORD Chapter on Saturday\, April 12 at 11:00 a.m. at the Eckerd College Campus GO Pavilion for the NORD Color Run for CDLS. It will be a 1.5-mile walk/run. Have some fun and raise awareness and funds for this rare disorder. \nSee you there! \nThank you. Together\, we will continue to reach out\, provide help\, and give hope to the CdLS community. \nSaturday\, April 12\, 2025\n11:00 a.m.\nEckerd College Waterfront\n4200 54th Ave. S\nSt. Petersburg\, FL\n\nCan’t make the Color Run but still want to support it?

DESCRIPTION:You scream! I scream! We all scream for ice cream!\nMeet with friends\, enter to win an ice cream party\, and learn more about CdLS while supporting Team CdLS in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon this fall.\nColin MT Hamilton\, Treasurer of the Massaco Chapter of the National Honors Society\, an academic merit organization at Simsbury High School\, is excited to partner with the CdLS Foundation not only to fulfill the chapter’s goals of giving back to our surrounding community but to help another organization and their altruistic pursuit of helping those in need. “We have committed ourselves throughout the years to community impact and give back. In order to be inducted into NHS\, members must display qualities of Scholarship\, Leadership\, Character\, and Service\, once inducted\, they are expected to continue activities that fulfill these pillars. On our own\, we organize and run the local blood drive and food pantry donations\, but members are just as likely to be found helping a teacher organize for their class\, tutoring fellow students\, cleaning up invasive species\, or training service dogs!” \n\n\n\nWe hope you will come out and support the CdLS Foundation and the NHS of Simsbury High School. \nCan’t attend\, but still want to support?
