As you already may know, Camp Discovery is organized by the American
Academy of Dermatology, and is a wonderful cause. Contributions help to
defray the cost so that more children will have the opportunity to attend the
camp. The camp is a place where children with severe skin diseases can have fun,
be with other children who have similar conditions, and at the same time
receive medical supervision. Some children are in wheelchairs and
some will have considerably shortened life spans. All of the children
need our love.
My
wish is that more dermatology practices around the country would offer to their
patients an opportunity of giving to the Camp. Offices could organize a bike
ride, a run, a walk, a golf tournament, a tennis tournament, or some
creative event to which people could contribute. I truly believe that if
many of our offices were to do this, we could quickly have a generous
endowment that would keep the Camp going for years to come. Now that would be a
wonderful accomplishment - a wonderful dream come true, a true gift for these
amazing children.
