The more the merrier in Springfield, Oregon!!!
Let your lunar out, get your moon-walk on and roll with us to cure rare disease for the July Full Moon. Let's save our little Australian cousin Tallulah Moon Whitrod!
This Springfield Moonwalk is part of a global community of moonwalkers and we want YOU to join us to rally for the registered charity Our Moon's Mission: Genetic Cures for Kids.
Moonwalk T-shirts will be available for sale for $5... or you can go all out with a moon theme for this charity event. We will be asking for a $30 donation to walk, and your generosity will help fund the cure for the rare neurodegenerative disease, SPG56, affecting five-year-old Tallulah Moon and children like her.
This charity has been working tirelessly on a cure for SPG56, and finally has the hope of getting what was once an "untreatable disease" to a gene therapy clinical trial in Australia! Their biggest hurdle now is funding the manufacturing phase of a life-changing gene therapy.
• Full Moon Walk: a moonlit walk starting at the Parking Lot on Mohawk Blvd and M Street. 7.15pm meet for a 7.30pm walk until the moonrise at 9.00pm.
• Post -walk at the local watering hole for pictures and libations to celebrate the full moon, Our Moon's Mission and the brilliance of genetic research.
This year's moonwalk magically coincides with the 56th anniversary of the historic moon landing on July 21, 1969. Just as humanity achieved the extraordinary feat of landing on the moon (SPG) 56 years ago (!) we are determined to conquer and cure SPG56. The science is there but the funds are not!
Bring your tribe. Gather your people. Walk with us under the moon on this significant night and let's make this moonshot possible for little Tallulah Moon!
