I haven't been super active this summer and it was because I was busy working at the most incredible place in the world with some extraordinary people. I spent the last 3 months at Wonderland Camp, a summer camp that is fully accessible and serving to individuals of all ages with various disabilities. I can't even begin to describe some of the experiences I have had, but it has been truly life changing.

A 20-year-old with a rare chromosomal disorder that prompts uncontrollable hunger has accepted a plea deal after he broke into multiple homes in search of food.

This is a very interesting case as it deals with an incredibly rare and little-known about chromosomal disorder that causes insatiable appetite and in some cases low IQ. It's interesting that somebody can be indicted by the things that they do because of the disorder, what's even more interesting will be to see what sort of precedent this particular case sets for any other case dealing with Prader-Willi syndrome. We wish the best for the young man this article identifies with his life in the new group home setting.

Prader-Wiilli

Some of you may see my post about donating money to PWS, but is like hey I have never heard of it so I am not donating. Here is a break down of what it is from FPWR (For Prader-Willi Research)…

~Prader-Willi Syndrome(PWS), is a complex and rare genetic disorder occurring in approximately one out of every 15,000 birth, affecting all races and genders with equal frequency.

~PWS is caused by the abnormal inactivation of portion of chromosome 15.

~The symptoms of PWS are varied and dramatic. The most notable symptom is an insatiable hunger, and most people with PWS are not able to control their food intake.

~ Hyperphagia coupled with metabolism requiring only 60% of calories of typical peer can lead to excessive eating, diabetes, morbid obesity and even DEATH!!!

~In addition to constantly feeling hungry, people with PWS may also suffer from challenges such as: short stature, scoliosis, seep disturbances, difficulty controlling emotions, speech apraxia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, cognitive delays, skin picking and mental illness.

So now that you know what PWS is please donate in honor of my daughter and all of the other children and adults with PWS… http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/rosesgarden …..
