Despite having Fabry disease which often makes daily life difficult and while still recovering from bacterial meningitis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, surgery to repair holes in the protective covering of his brain, and having a cardiac defibrillator implanted all in November of 2007, Jerry says he can do it!  He can endure the pain of the ride for a good reason, and this is a very good reason.

You can also help as a representative of the Fabry disease community! 

Jerry, the NFDF, and the Fabry disease community needs you. Even if you are unable to make a donation yourself, you can play an important role in making this important event a huge success for individuals with Fabry disease and their families.

Please email or print and distribute this flyer to your friends, coworkers, offices, schools, churches, community centers, and local businesses where you live, etc. The flyer is available below for printing in color or black and white. If you would like us to send you copies of flyers, please contact Jerry at jerry.walter@TheNFDF.org and he'll send you as many as you need. There is also a document that you can print to enable you to put your contact information along side of the flyer that identifies you as a NFDF volunteer. Tell those you contact about your relationship with Fabry disease and ask for their help. Together, we can make a difference!  

All proceeds of Jerry’s “ride for life” will support the mission of the NFDF, a 501(c)(3) public charity, in helping the Fabry disease
community. Learn more at www.TheNFDF.org or call/ write Jerry at jerry.walter@TheNFDF.org / 1-800-651-9131. In the event that illness or injury prevents Jerry from completing the ride, donations will continue to be used for their intended purpose.
