The Astoria Office of Hands-On Physical Therapy will be Participating in a “Jeans Day” to Raise Donations in Support of the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation
Astoria, New York (PRWEB) June 06, 2014 -- Myasthenia Gravis is an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder. The term comes from Latin meaning "grave muscular weakness." When an individual has an autoimmune disorder like Myasthenia Gravis their immune system malfunctions allowing the body to attack its own cells. People with this disorder can suffer from such symptoms as blurred or double vision, difficulty chewing or swallowing, difficulty breathing and weakness in the arms or legs. It is estimated that approximately 20 out of 100,000 people develop Myasthenia Gravis.
In recognition of Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Month, the Astoria Clinic of Hands-On Physical Therapy of New York will be participating in “Jeans Day” to raise money for this cause. Wednesday, June 11th, the staff that wishes to participate will donate $5 to the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation in exchange for the opportunity to wear jeans to work.
