Little Rhody Warriors families held their second “Fragile X Awareness Walk” event on May 18th at Goddard Park in Warwick, Rhode Island. More than 50 family members, caregivers, and friends registered online before the event, and together their team has raised over $6,000 to support the National Fragile X Foundation.
It was a beautiful day full of fun activities that brought awareness to many about Fragile X syndrome. The group reported a fantastic turnout with the opportunity to meet so many new Fragile X families, and they can’t wait for more opportunities to get together.
Event organizer Marcella Almeida says, “Our little Fragile X community just keeps on growing! We are actively bringing awareness to everyone around us. We were joined by family, friends, teachers and therapists on a beautiful sunny day by the Narragansett Bay! We had toys, food, and a bouncy house donated by local businesses and friends. We can’t wait to see what next year will be like! TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER!!!”
