2018 St. Louis Strollathon

St. Louis Strollathon for Rett Syndrome Research –   May 2018  –  This was the 11th year that my wife Joyce and Amy Kreher have put on the STL Strollathon, and it was a fabulous.  The largest turnout to date, over 600 people!!  After the flood of 2017 forced us to move the location, we decided that the pavilion at the J actually worked better for us, even if it was not as pretty as the park.  The park would have never held this crowd.   We are now knocking on the $750,000 raised since the STL Stroll was first started.  So many families from all around came out to help fund research and family support for our girls.  We also had a new family come this year who has a rare case of a son diagnosed.  They brought over 150 people themselves and was able to get a “day pass” from the PICU to have their son with them.  I love the community that turns out for this event, really makes a dad’s heart swell with pride and humble admiration.
