Jan. 5th in Harrisburg

This entry does not deal with politics but I'd like my Harrisburg and vicinity readers to please take note. There is a new ad on my side bar regarding a Jan 5th event in Harrisburg. If you are available please consider going. Various bloggers listed on PoliticsPA are being asked to highlight this event, and I am pleased to do so.

Event details:

John Stouffer has been a tireless worker for former House Majority Policy Committee Chairman Roy Cornell and the House Republican Caucus, as well as with the local ambulance service and fire company. Bundy, as he is known by friends in Cedar Cliff High school, had incredible school spirit. He was at all the games encouraging the crowds to show their support.

Now it is time for his friends to return the favor. For the last several months, John has been battling tough medical problems. He was diagnosed with Cogan's disease, which is a rare disease that affects his eyes, ears, and vascular system. There is little known about Cogan's disease and very few doctors have been able to provide him with relief. It is a constant fight. Blood clots, medicine interactions, constant pain, and loss of sensory skills. John has been putting up a good fight, but it has not been easy. The stress of being in and out of the hospital as well as mounting hospitable bills has taken its toll. At the young age of 27, he is dealing with a body that is acting more and more like a person of 65.

When asked how he's been handling everything, he said "it's been tough." "The thing I miss the most is being able to go out with my friends to a local bar, dance, and have a good time." We are going to give him just that.

Join us at Flinchy's Restaurant on January 5th for an evening of music, friends, and fun. Let's give him the opportunity to have a good time and dance. While we are at it, let's give a little back and help him with the mounting medical bills!
