As Dystonia Awareness Month approaches, I’m thrilled to fill in first place on my Dystonia Awareness Dance Card with the 3rd Annual Bronx Zoo Walk on September 10. This FUNdraising event has become my pride and joy, a day to celebrate awareness and make our way one step closer to realizing our dream of curing dystonia. We should all remember:
When a star is born, They possess a gift or two
One of them is this, They have the power to make a wish come trueWhen you wish upon a star, Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you
If your heart is in your dream, No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star, As dreamers do
The Bronx Zoo Walk is a day for Dystonia dreamers to come together at the spectacular Bronx Zoo to gaze upon the amazing wildlife roaming the lush greenery and dream about days to come when we are free as an uncaged beast from Dystonia.
