Ethan’s Walk for the Cure
Mount Aloysius College
Cresson, Pennsylvania
March 15, 2008

Five-year-old Ethan Spade and his Circle of Friends will hold a one-mile "Walk for the Cure" on March 15, 2008, at Mount Aloysius College in Cresson, PA, to raise money for CMT research.

Ethan, who has CMT, currently wears braces on both legs in order to avoid problems with tightened muscles during the day. He also goes for physical therapy and has a workout routine that he does at home every day.

There will be a live DJ, prizes, and more!

On-site registration for the walk begins at 10:00 a.m., or you can call Tracy Spade at (814)421-8661 to pre-register. If you’d like to make a donation in support of Ethan and the other walkers, please visit Ethan’s webpage at www.charcot-marie-tooth.org/Ethan.

Ethan, and everyone affected by CMT, thanks you for your support!
