What To Expect at W2W 2007...
Unite 2 Fight Paralysis has been receiving inquiries about space
remaining at the Working 2 Walk Symposium. It's not too late to
register!
There is space remaining at this exciting event for advocates
dedicated to finding a cure for paralysis!
On Sunday, April 22, be sure to bring your photo ID to the W2W
Symposium at the
Ronald Reagan Intl. Trade Center
in Washington DC. Marble floors, a
dedicated subway stop,
and fine cuisine will ease the way as we focus on the topic at
hand-the state of current paralysis cure research. Both educational
and inspirational, Working 2 Walk presents some of the leading minds
in research, industry and advocacy. This year's roundtable format
will encourage interaction, and result in information that WE-the
survivors that deal daily with paralysis-can use every time we push
for a cure!
Monday, April 23, leaves the morning open for attendees to take
in the sights of Washington in springtime, or to visit their
legislators in support of the Working 2 Walk
Legislative Agenda.
Monday afternoon we will meet at the
Washington Plaza
to enjoy an Open House hosted by
Kennedy Krieger Institute.
(See sidebar for more details.)
Tuesday, April 24, we will rally together at Upper Senate Park on
Capitol Hill. This 3rd springtime rally of cure paralysis advocates,
emceed by Darryl (Chill) Mitchell, offers musical performances by
ProfessirX and Todd Phillips,
and speakers including Sam Schmidt and several prominent national
politicians. The Rally is the best warm-up imaginable for an
energetic lobbying afternoon on Capitol Hill!
The 110th Congress will be refreshed after their spring recess,
and April will be an ideal time for us to visit DC. The Christopher
and Dana Reeve Paralysis Act (HR 1727) was just introduced in the
House of Representatives. The
Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2007
is also up for another Senate vote in April. It's time to be making
those appointments with your legislators about these issues. The W2W
site has
everything you need to begin the appointment-making process.
The
Working 2 Walk website is
being updated regularly. Information on
Lodging,
Maps and Transportation,
Updated Schedules,
Registration-
It's all here!
Working 2 Walk 2007
Souvenir Shirts
are still available. This won't last long! Supplies are running low
on certain styles/sizes. Home delivery before W2W is no longer
guaranteed, but shirts will be available for sale on Sunday and
Monday.
We hope to see you in Washington this year. It is a beautiful
season to visit the nation's capitol, and it is time for our
legislators to again hear our voice. There is a cure for paralysis on
the horizon...but we'll have to fight to get there. Unite 2 Fight
Paralysis presents Working 2 Walk in hopes that it will arm us for
that fight, and inspire us until we are victorious.
Sincerely,
Your Friends at
Unite 2 Fight Paralysis
