Osteofoundation
In 2005, I was diagnosed with advanced Osteoporosis, a disabling condition of the bones, also called metabolic bone disorder, where the bones become brittle due to lack of calcium absorption and lose their density. My symptoms included decreased bone strength, extreme pain in lower back and hip joints, and lack of mobility.
My Story and My Fight against Osteoporosis: http://creativityandinnovation.blogspot.com/2006/12/my-story-and-my-fight-against.html ********************************* I am launching a new Osteoporosis Foundation to promote and help strong bone health in children, youth and young adults, and ultimately stop Osteoporosis. I have come to believe that Osteoporosis can be completely prevented and stopped if we help our children, youth and young adults by promoting good diet, lifestyle, and exercise. And I want to raise awareness, and educate and train parents to help their growing children and youth. I am looking for support and enthusiasm, participation and drive from the community and corporations, government and National Osteoporosis Organization to stop Osteoporosis. The new Osteoporosis Foundation will be launched at the website: http://www.osteofoundation.org/ The current launch date is March 31, 2007 for the initial informational content at the website. I plan on updating the website with fresh and relevant content, updates and educational materials throughout 2007. ********************************* Osteoporosis Foundation’s Mission _________________________________ To stop Osteoporosis by encouraging strong bone health in children, youth and young adults through raising awareness, advancing and disseminating multimedia education, marketing diet, lifestyle and exercise programs, and fostering community participation. To help find a cure for Osteoporosis in young adults under age 40. The Osteoporosis Foundation will be committed to achieving the mission through worldwide programs of awareness, education and training, interaction, advocacy and research. The Osteoporosis Foundation asks for your support to realize the vision and achieve the core mission objectives. The Osteoporosis Foundation encourages individuals, foundations, government sources and corporations to help through monetary, time and referral contributions. In conclusion, I am a believer, and I have come this far in my fight against Osteoporosis. Now I want to join hands with fellow Osteoporosis believers and create a partnership with the larger community so that we can stop Osteoporosis and create a future wherein our children will have strong, healthy bones to last them a lifetime.
