Move-athon: Making My Moves So Others Can

Sharon is a member of our How To Look Good Twisted Facebook group and wanted to help spread the word about this year's Move-athon. Sharon represents the Pediatric Orthopaedics division of the NY-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital in New York City. The division specializes in treating babies and children with congenital, developmental and traumatic musculoskeletal conditions. "Our team is committed to providing superior orthopaedic care for children. Children from everywhere, not only New York, receive top-quality care for their orthopaedic conditions at the Morgan Stanley Children's Hosptial of New York Presbyterian" says Sharon.

Specialty Centers
  • Early Onset Scoliosis
  • Clubfoot Center of New York
  • Scoliosis Center of New York
  • Neuromuscular Disorders Center of New York
  • Pediatric and Adolescent Sports Medicine Center of New York
  • Pediatric Hand Center of New York
  • Pediatric Tumor & Bone Disease Center of New York

Sharon says "They are just about the nicest bunch of docs you ever want to meet...so good with the kids and they truly care about what they are doing. The money raised will help them continue with their research and find some new solutions to help kids with all sorts of musculoskeletal disorders".

Are you ready to show off your moves? If so then all children are invited to join for a fun afternoon of dancing, bouncing, jumping, doing crafts and playing games, while helping to raise money to help kids with musculoskeletal disorders.

The Move-athon helps raise funds for Pediatric Orthopedic Research, which helps babies and children with congenital, developmental and traumatic musculoskeletal conditions. While many children are affected with orthopedic concerns due to injuries or accidents, many children are born with musculoskeletal disorders that affect their growth, development and ability to thrive.

Your participation in the Move-athon will help Morgan Stanley Hospital continue to improve the quality of life for kids with musculoskeletal disorders by finding new ways to reduce their pain and improve their ability to move.

Registration is $25 per child and participants are encouraged to ask others to support their 4 hours of moving with pledges.

In addition to the supervised activities, there will be light refreshments and prizes for top fundraisers.

So, if you are in New York around the 12th September this year get your butt down to the Move-athon and make a difference to a child's life today!

Ugly Betty star Wilhelmina has Scoliosis

Ugly Betty star Vanessa Williams has Scoliosis. Before Vanessa became a famous star through her seasons of Ugly Betty she was to be a dancer. Vanessa was recently nominated for an Emmy for the 2nd time for her role as the wicked diva Wilhelmina Slater in Ugly Betty. For those of you who have not heard of Ugly Betty, it is an ABS comedy hit show dedicated to Mode magazine and the world of fashion. Vanessa Williams wanted to be a professional dander with the Joffrey Ballet until those plans were cut short by Scoliosis. (curvature of the spine) Vanessa is reported to have said "It derailed me for a while,". "It was so severe I had to have a spinal fusion where they put 8-inch metal rods and screws in my spine. I just took off one year where I didn't do any physical activity. But then, of course, I was terrified. It's so strange … It felt like having an operation and then healing and going back to your real body. It was really like having a new center of gravity and ...

Curving again?

By -

I have noticed just recently that I seem to be leaning left again and walking is becoming a real struggle, I only noticed this the other day when I had my jeans on and I saw myself in the mirror (not something I do very often especially as it is cold). I was shocked, my right side is fairly straight and flat (not too much flab) - my left side is almost folded in half and I can wedge my hand in between the fold that appears there - I look awful!!!!! Is it even possible for me to start curving again and my Scoliosis show signs again after a Harrington rod surgery 19 years ago? I never used to be conscious over my body years ago and I know it changes the older I get but I am no bigger than I was when I got married at age 24 and I am now 31, I hate my clothes I do not feel comfortable at all and I hate it when people look at me when I am walking down the street in a sideways crab walk!! I have even added a picture of my back, I never thought I would share that with the world because I am ...

Scoliosis and Memory Foam Mattresses

By -

I have been receiving many emails about memory foam and whether it actually works. I will let you into the secrets of my good night's sleep and what I think about memory foam and why it has helped me so much, for starters I no longer sleep with Valium, I simply don't need it. The memory foam that I sleep on was invented by a guy in the UK, who, unfortunately does not have the dollars behind him that his competitors like Tempur do, therefore he has not been as recognised as a brand name like he should have been - it's all down to money, and what a shame that is. I have heard great reports about Tempur mattresses and I have tried one, however, I have to say that their product is not as wonderful as the OroMed Sleep System that I use - you understand that this is MY personal opinion and I am entitled to have one ;) I started my quest for memory foam 4 years ago, I just couldn't sleep and was getting beyond my tether of walking around the house at night in tears because I ...
