For the 12th year Moorpark Veterinary Hospital awarded scholarships to graduating seniors who wish to pursue medicine and the healing arts as a profession. This year we were fortunate to give 2 scholarships to outstanding seniors at Moorpark High School. Thanks to everyone for generously sponsoring Dr. Al Schwartz, a walker at the Take Steps and Be Heard fundraiser June 13, 2010. He raised over $1,250 for this important charity. Dr. Schwartz, his youngest daughter, and his father all developed Crohn's Disease as teenagers. Dr. Al had extensive surgery in February, 2010, due to the damage done by his illness. Donations help with research and new medicines to aid in control of this debilitating disease. These funds improve research and educational programs for the more than 1.4 million children and adults suffering from Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. For too long, 400,000 Americans and their families have suffered the devastating effects of MS. But with 200,000 participants raising $53 million at the 2006 MS Walk, and fundraising walks annually, we collectively brought the world one giant step closer to a cure.
Dr. Heiser participated in the Pasadena Rose Bowl event in 2007.
We will continue to post upcoming events. You can donate online at http://nationalmssociety.org/
