Great Before and After Pics from the DR

Good morning from a suddenly rainy and chilly Lemoyne…

We’ve just received a beautiful story from our Dominican Republic hospital about a 2-year-old boy named Brandy.  Before he came to CURE, his knees bent backwards; but thanks to the surgical experts at our hospital, his knees now look like normal.

Brandy’s family and neighbors are already viewing him as a miracle!  We always love getting these stories and look forward to sharing many more with you.  These kids are the reason why CURE exists.

A couple more items….

The Pendulum, Elon University’s student newspaper, published an excellent story about Drea Dorrow, an Elon student who has spent a lot of time at our hospital in Malawi.  You can check it out here.

And in a follow up from last week, CURE’s own Abbie Taggart successfully completed the Baltimore Marathon in a time of 4:28:14.  Abbie’s supporters really came through as well.  She raised almost $6,500 for CURE.  Congrats to Abbie and many thanks to those who donated to her cause!
