On February 12, 2010, the Shelton School is Holding Their Annual Jump-a-Thon Honoring Brian Price of Dallas, Texas
"My experience with the SADS Foundation has always been beneficial, but in different ways over the past 2 ½ years. It began with a phone call I made searching for answers after the sudden and unexpected death of my healthy fifteen year old son, Brian. With the help of the SADS Foundation the mystery unraveled. Now I am able to impact the education of others about Long QT Syndrome which is why I organized an annual fundraising event." - Kathy Martin
