RSD Hero – Katie Rusonis

by admin

Katie Rusonis’ Senior Class Project fundraiser. Katie did this Motorcycle Run as her class project. Katie has RSD.

Katie raised $1600.00 for American RSDHope’s Research Fund!

She plans on going on to be a Physical Therapist after High School graduation in the spring of 2010. Katie has RSD in both legs, her hip and in her back. She has fought her way out of her wheelchair with the tough love and “insistence” of her loving mom, Carolyn. Katie is our second PA High School student to raise funds as a class community project for American RSDHope.

Thank you so much Katie and the very best of luck to you in your future as a physical therapist and in being the very beautiful person we know you to be.

Way to go Katie!  Congratulations on spreading the awareness of RSD / CRPS
