Volunteer Opportunity Details:

The Missy Project is a 501 C3 non profit organization dedicated to raising awareness of Brain Awareness Disease(BAD)in children through education, outreach and early detection. The Missy Project was established by the Magel family and friends on Nov 24th 1999 - what would have been their daughter Marisa(Missy)Magel's 13th birthday. Missy passed away sudden while at summer camp. In researching the disease that claimed their daughter's life, they were told that Missy's death was rare. However, they discovered that this disease is quite prevalent among children and often misdiagnosed as a migraine headache.

Early Detection Screenings can save lives.. So why is it not being done???
