UBPN is pleased to announce that through a special grant from The MedicAlert Foundation that they are able to provide sponsored (free) memberships to all children under the age of 18 referred by UBPN. Adults will also be eligible if they have financial need. No documentation of need is necessary.
MedicAlert is able to provide this through the generosity of their membership and the wife of their founder, Mrs. Chrissie Collins, who in a special memorial established a fund in support of children with medical conditions, called The Chrissie Collins Children's Fund.
For complete information on this wonderful opportunity, see this page on our website.

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

Re: MedicAlert
Just thought I should move this to the top of the page.
It is important for OBPI/TBPI children and adults to wear Medic Alerts should an emergency occur.
This is a great offer and thanks Judy for brings this to UBPN.
