Cassidy meets the Congressman!


Princess Cassidy, a Heart of Gold Award winner, was given a benefit concert recently, the idea of young Tristan Futrell. Cassidy has done much to raise money for Chiari research and this concert was to help her family with all their medical expenses, as well as with some other hardships the family has faced.
I will let her mom, Stacey, tell the other good news in her own words:
"I received a phone call from our Congressman’s office yesterday and he read Cassidy's article in the paper that they send to Washington so they can keep up with local news. He is flying back from Washington tomorrow to be here for her benefit and he wants to meet Cassidy and get to know more about Chiari Malformation and SM. This is great! We need more people to know more about this in Washington. We need more Federal money for research. They have to find a way to cure this one day. Our children should not have to suffer from this any more. I know there are so many things out there that need more federal government attention and this is just one of them. I pray hard for everyone that has a child that is dealing or has had to earn their wings that we can all get the federal government to step up and say ok, yes, we know and we will help. Here is the link to the article in our paper http://www.tribunecourier.com/stories/news/mar24news3.html It is a great article. Also you can find another http://thelakenews.net/News.php."

Hurray for Princess Cassidy!!!
