One of the rarest, most disabling genetic conditions known to medicine, it causes bone to form in muscles, tendons, ligaments and other connective tissues. Bridges of extra bone develop across joints, progressively restricting movement and forming a second skeleton that imprisons the body in bone. There are only 700 known cases of FOP in the entire world.

http://www.waterfire.org/season-schedule There is no cost to attend this event but you would pay for parking and it is mobbed. I just found out the State House and local buildings are all light in Pink in honor of Breast Cancer Month. There is also parade with torches. I talked to someone today who said it is spectacular so because we are a Women's group I thought the date most fitting. There are lanterns one can light to gondola rides for a fee. For those who wish to we can eat before but need to allow plenty of time to eat drive and park then walk. We are all on budgets so there are all price points from Capital Grill, Cheesecake Factory,Dave & Busters. PP Fod Court, or the Marriott that Jill knows has fire pits and outdoor tables(not sure in Oct) Discussed tonight at golf that it is probably better to eat in the PVD area and park early rather than eat in Seekonk and try to get a place to park later. Maybe some of us can carpool. I suggest we all wear Pink in support of the Breast Cancer families. There are likely many women in our own group who have been effected by this.

While waiting our turn, we'll sample some wines and yummy apps. When making your RSVP, please indicate what you're willing to bring as well as send me a private message with your e mail so I may contact you directly regarding payment.
