It’s More Than A Fundraiser . . .
Alle Shea’s Walk-n-Wheel is part of Making Strides for Better Bones, a
series of walk-n-wheelchair events throughout the country designed to:
• Build awareness of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI);
• Promote activities that lead to better bone health; and
• Raise support for the Foundation’s research, education, awareness, and mutual support activities.
Osteogenesis Imperfecta . . .
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic bone disorder characterized
by fragile bones that break easily. It is also known as “brittle bone
disease.”Rolling over in bed or sneezing can cause a fracture. In
addition to frequent fractures, other symptoms can include loss of
hearing, brittle teeth, or respiratory difficulties. There is no cure
for OIyet, which affects an estimated 20,000 - 50,000 people in the
United States.
The OI Foundation . . .
The Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) Foundation began in 1970. The
Foundation’s mission is to improve the quality of life for people
affected by OI through research to find treatments and a cure,
education, awareness, and mutual support. The OI Foundation holds a
Biennial National Conference for families impacted by OI; produces
informational fact sheets, books, and other resources; and funds
approximately $1 million in research each year.
