The Bellefonte Wizards

Nov 9th, 2009 by rebecca

The LesDunBelle Blog, which reports on the doings in the corner of the neighborhood comprised of Leslie, Duncan and Bellefonte Avenues, has a post up about our local Special Olympics basketball champs, the Bellefonte Wizards. The Wizards have set their sites on national competition and they need the Del Ray community to participate in their bake sale fundraiser this weekend at the farmer’s market.

You’ve got to hop on over to the LesDunBelle Blog and read the Bellefonte Wizards story.

The post also tells you how you can help out, especially by baking for the sale, buying tasty treats at the bake sale (my speciality), or donating money.

Biliary Atresia is a condition in which the ducts that carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine are abnormal. These ducts can be injured, blocked, or missing. When the ducts that carry bile out of the liver are closed, bile backs up and damages liver tissue. In time, the liver can develop scarring or cirrhosis. The gallbladder may also be abnormal or missing. The cause of Biliary Atresia is unknown. It occurs in one infant in every 15,000 live births. It is a serious disease which requires immediate surgical and medical treatment.
