Laura Tellado, known as Laurita by her friends, was born with Spina Bifida in Puerto Rico in 1986 with myelomeningocele, the severest form of spina bifida. In 1990, her family moved to Orlando, Florida in order to give her the best possible care.Now, as an adult, Laura is a full-time advocate for Spina Bifida, working to bring a public voice to the cause. As a 22-year member of the Spina Bifida Association of Central Florida, she’s doing her part to shed light on this condition by raising money for the Walk-N-Roll for Spina Bifida.
Laura has us and a host of other amazing communities and organizations to help her to raise money online for Team Holdin’ Out for a Hero until October 27th, when we have our Walk-N-Roll event.
Donations can be as small as $5 or as large as $50,000. Every cent counts and every dollar will go towards supporting families affected by spina bifida in 22 counties in and around the Central Florida region and supporting educational and awareness efforts.
Spina bifida can seem like a daunting challenge for many families, but there is power in numbers and strength in awareness!
Join us for a fun and powerful Twitter Party devoted to raising money and awareness for a cause!
