The last issue of the foundation's newsletter featured an article on summer camps for children with psoriasis. Camp Wonder is organized by Children's Skin Disease Foundation (www.csdf.org) which was started by a 16 year old named Francesca. In April, Francesca will be a recipient of a "Do Something" 2006 BRICK Award.
On their web site there is a poll to determine which of the winners will
receive an EXTRA grant of $5,000 to go toward their charity of choice.

Who am I?? My name is Diane Lewis and a few of the regulars will recognize me from real world contacts. (I've never really used the boards, so excuse the fact that "my first appearance is as a request". I don't mean to be rude.:)) However, I know that there are a lot of snake oil salesmen and scams and bs on the internet. So...for those who care to know...I am a long time member, volunteer and advocate of the National Psoriasis Foundation. I ran a support group, testified in front of the FDA, lectured at several national conferences and have appeared in newspaper articles and documentaries about psoriasis. Currently, I volunteer each summer as the Arts and Crafts Director at Camp Wonder in Livermore, CA. It is a FREE week-long camp for children with severe and terminal skin diseases.
I thought that I would turn to the "NPF" online community and ask for your support. I know that you probably get forwarded emails practically everyday asking for some kind of donation with pledges that this is real.
Well, this one is real. I don't need money. All I need is 10 seconds of your online time. The extra $5000 will help so much.
Thanks for your consideration.
