Forward to a Colleague
February 28, 2007
Working 2 Walk 2007 will be here in 8 short weeks. We hope that many of you have saved the dates and will join us in Washington for this special event.

Support Working 2 Walk
At Unite 2 Fight Paralysis, we are committed to offering unique opportunities for the paralysis community to advocate on behalf of a cure. As part of our commitment, we take responsibility for making our events and activities educational, affordable, and of the highest quality.

If you appreciate the work of Unite 2 Fight Paralysis and have the means, we hope you will consider a financial contribution to support our efforts. All of our work (including the hundreds of hours spent organizing Working 2 Walk) is done on volunteer time. We are fortunate that several generous sponsors have come forward to support W2W, but we still need to raise additional funds to cover our expenses. The costs of venue rental, catering, and equipment in Washington DC are considerable.

Please consider a donation to Working 2 Walk and demonstrate your support for this event and the pro-cure movement. Unite 2 Fight Paralysis is a tax-exempt, 501c3 organization. Visit our Contributions page to donate with a credit card via Pay Pal or get information on where to send a cheque. Thank you!

North American Clinical Trial Network
We are pleased to announce an important addition to the Symposium schedule. Joseph Canose of the Christopher Reeve Foundation will present an overview of the North American Clinical Trial Network (NACTN), and answer the questions of "What is a Clinical Trial?", and "Why is a Network essential?". An interactive panel discussing criteria, the patient role, and other aspects of clinical trials will follow Mr. Canoses's presentation.

Registration
If you haven't registered yet for the Working 2 Walk Symposium, take a few minutes now to sign up. Early Registration is a huge help to the planning process for all facets of the event. The Registration Fee is $100 and includes Continental Breakfast and a Seated Lunch on Sunday, April 22. Please note that after April 1 the Registration Fee goes up to $125.

We are thrilled to once again offer 5 Registration Grants that will cover the $100 fee. Grant Applications must be received by April 1. To apply, follow the Registration Grant Application link from the W2W Registration page.

W2W Headquarters at Washington Plaza
U2FP has arranged a special lodging package with the Washington Plaza Hotel in downtown Washington. Those of you who attended the "Spring Into Action" Rally in 2005 will remember the WP as headquarters for that event. The hotel has ample accessible as well as standard rooms, is 3 blocks from the Metro station, and located near several other lodging options. Please note that you must book by March 22 in order to receive the special U2FP rate. More information on the hotel and how to reserve your room is available on the W2W Lodging page.

Souvenir Shirts

Once again we have a bright and bold souvenir shirt to tell the world that we are "Working 2 Walk". Styles available are men's, women's, and youth t-shirts as well as ladies tanks. Shirts are $10 each and can be ordered NOW from the Working 2 Walk website. Orders must be received by April 1 to guarantee your size and style and delivery in time for the event.

We will bring extra shirts to Washington, but every year a few people are disappointed when we sell out of the size or style they want. So order your shirts ahead of time. You can indicate and pay for shipping when you order your shirts, or pick them up in Washington. Order here.

Bridges 2 Hope
There is still time to submit your story for inclusion in the Bridges 2 Hope project. Slowly but surely we are building a passionate and personal advocacy tool to share with our scientists and politicians. We remind everyone of the power of their personal stories. If you've had the opportunity to attend a Rally and/or meet with researchers & legislators, you know that it is an empowering experience. The next best thing to a personal visit is a virtual one via Bridges 2 Hope, so share your story now.
