Robert M. Barrett THE BIG R 1931-2008
Bob Barrett loved life and lived it to the fullest and was always looking to help people. To keep his memory alive and to continue with his efforts caring for others a 501 (c)(3) charity was formed.
On behalf of the Robert M. Barrett Memorial Trust I would like to thank you for attending or sponsoring our event this year on July 24th, 2010. Your support this year will benefit three charities: The Scleroderma Foundation, Main Stay Therapeutic Riding and The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp. The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp serves approximately 15,000 children each year. Children from the ages of 7 to 15 years with medical illnesses, most of the campers have cancer or serious blood disorders. Main Stay Therapeutics works with a wide range of disabilities. Listed below are a few of the disabilities: Cerebral Palsy, Downs Syndrome, Stroke, Traumatic Brain Injuries, Congenital Birth Defects, Muscular Dystrophy, Autism, Developmental Delays, Multiple Sclerosis, Amputees. Scleroderma is a chronic, degenerative, autoimmune disorder that leads to the over-production of collagen in the body's connective tissue. The word "scleroderma" means "hardening of the skin" and refers to one of the possible physical effects of the disease approximately 300,000 people in the U.S. have scleroderma. For information on the charities visit http://www.holeinthewallgang.org Main Stay Therapeutic at http://www.mstrp.org/ and the Scleroderma Foundation at http://www.scleroderma.org/
