Jumpin’ for Jazz (Jazmyne Harris, ’14) on July 13
A Walk For Those Who Can’t: Support research to find a treatment for Friedreich’s ataxia which will benefit BCHS alumna Jazmyne Harris, BCHS Class of ’14, at Jumpin’ for Jazz Charity Walk on July 13, 2024 from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. at Broad Ripple Park.
Jazmyne was diagnosed in April 2010 with Friedreich’s ataxia – a severely debilitating, life-shortening, degenerative neuro-muscular disorder which is inherited at birth. This rare, untreatable and incurable disease affects an estimated 1 in 5000-6000 people in the United States.
Jazmyne has been fortunate to be able to be treated by Dr. Mark Payne, professor of pediatrics at IU School of Medicine and a pediatric cardiologist at Riley Children’s Health, who is a world-leader in research for the disease.
Proceeds will advance clinical trial for medicines to treat the disease
Adriana (Zermeno) Triebold, ’11, has new post at Marian U.
She also recalls a favorite BCHS memory: Being involved with theater and working alongside fellow grad, Kyle Guyton in several shows especially Wizard of Oz.
Congratulations Adriana!
