💙 Just a quick reminder! 💙

Please join us on Thursday, December 17th for our last chat of the year to discuss PERTHES disease/AVN (avascular necrosis) in children and young adults during our online chat. The chat will start at 8:30 PM Eastern Time and will give families a chance to ask Dr. Standard questions about Perthes disease and treatments.
To receive log in information, *e-mail* [email protected] any time before 2 PM EST on the day of the chat (earlier is better). Please make the subject of your email "Perthes Chat" and include your name and a short history such as the child's age, any treatment to date, etc. We need that brief history before we can send out the instructions. Please note that we will *not* open any attachments, web site links, DropBox links, etc., unless the above information is included in the body of the email. Thanks, and we look forward to chatting with you!

* It’s !! *
Even though I haven’t run a marathon since last February, I’m definitely still running for Perthes! I’ve been running 13.1mi (that’s a Half marathon) long runs on weekends with my good friend Jeannine Lee so I’ll be ready when things open up again!
Kids are still diagnosed with Perthes every day around the world - and The International Perthes Study Group (IPSG) are still treating kids and conducting research.
100% of 50x60 donations go directly to the IPSG research. 💚 Be sure to put “Run 50x60” in the relationship box under “Other”

As always, thanks for your support and love for these kiddos. I appreciate it more than you know.

What an encouraging story of perseverance and hope from across the pond!

'It was incredibly painful, excruciating in fact. I can't explain the pain.'
