Scavenger Hunt Raises Awareness & Research Funds for Disabling Brain Disorder
INDIANAPOLIS - IndianaStop -- WHO: The public is invited to Garfield Park Arts Center to help find a cure for dystonia, a little-known but surprisingly common neurological movement disorder. The event is organized by Sarah Ernstberger, an educator who has experienced chronic, painful muscle spasms in her neck and hand since being diagnosed with dystonia as a child. Also on the event planning committee is Sunshine Fox, whose 12-year-old son Aidan was diagnosed at age 3, but the underlying cause for his complex case remains unknown. As volunteers with the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation (DMRF), Ernstberger and Fox have organized multiple special events and traveled to Washington DC to advocate on behalf of the dystonia community for federal research funding.
The Dystonia Medical Research Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to advancing research for improved dystonia treatments and ultimately a cure, promoting awareness, and supporting the well-being of affected individuals and families.
