Growing Stronger at MAB

We are confirmed to attend the LPA MAB meeting in Washington DC on Sunday June 30 at 4pm EDT.

We will be presenting a donation from Growing Stronger to LPA's MAB and asking MAB to create a grant process for us. I will let update the blog to let you know the results after our meeting.

New fund raising page

New fund raising page.

We are excited to report we are moving to a new online fundraising tool that allows members to create their own fundraising page without us having to get involved. This is very exciting.

We are retiring our old page (still works but not preferred)

and we are moving to:

We hope to see more people raise funds for improving the quality of medical care for little people

2013 Grants Update

2013 Grants Update

We are pleased to announce that we completed the first full year of support of Dr. Horton's lab and Dr. Jyoti's work. Dr. Jyoti has received a grant based on her research and continues her important research without support from Growing Stronger. We are pleased to mention that we are now providing partial support to a Dr. Greg Lunstrum, research in Dr. Horton's lab. You can see progress from Dr. Horton's lab on their blog on the website (Learn -> Blog -> Dr. Jyoti's blog)

We have some changes to report with Dr. Wilcox's lab. Dr. Pavel has left Cedars in the beginning of April 2013. He is no longer supported by Growing Stronger. We are communicating with Dr. Pavel to evaluate how we can continue to support his important FGFR3 research.  We are working with Dr. Wilcox to finalize our first year support and in the process of evaluating our continued support.
