Race a Duck for Spinal Muscular Atrophy
If you’re in the Westfield, New Jersey area, or even if you’re not, you can participate in an event that puts the “fun” in “fundraiser”. Patrick’s Buddies, a chapter of Fight SMA based in New Jersey, is holding the “Fight SMA Rubber Duck Race” on Sunday, May 6, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. to benefit spinal muscular atrophy research and Fight SMA. The 25 fastest ducks in the race at Mindowaskin Park in Westfield will receive an iPod shuffle (all the better to listen to the Fighting Back Podcast!) Ducks are $5 each, or a “Quack Pack” of 5 ducks for $20. If you want to improve your chances, a “Flock” of 12 Ducks is only $50, and a “Gaggle” of 25 ducks for $100. For more information, contact Ellen Devin at ej-devin@comcast.net.
