Dystonia is a movement disorder that affects several hundred thousand children and adults. It is one of the three most common movement disorders after Essential Tremor and Parkinson’s. There are multiple forms of Dystonia, and dozens of diseases and conditions may include Dystonia as a symptom. Dystonia may affect a single body area or be generalized throughout multiple muscle groups. Join us and be a part of the global effort to find a cure! Our goal is to get 5 thousand people to commit to donating $5 during Dystonia awareness month in September 2019 in hopes of finding a cure. $5 doesn’t seem like much but if everyone donated it would be HUGE! Your money goes directly to the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation a 501c3 non-profit. 100% goes to research for a cure. You can donate at 5dollarcure.com.
SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL DYSTONIA AWARENESS MONTH!
PAT I ENT SPOTL I GHT Professional Care PT Patient, Grace Rizzi-Gallipoli announced as Patchogue’s First Female Italian- American of the Year! Grace, the daughter of Angelo Rizzi and Nunzia Appio was born on February 13, 1932, in Montescaglioso, a small town in the Basilicata region of Italy. While living in Italy, Grace, the oldest of seven children married Nicola (Nick) Gallipoli in October of 1954. In pursuit of the American dream, the couple then made their journey to New York and would establish themselves on Waverly Avenue in Patchogue. Nick would go on to open Grace Iron Works on Waverly Avenue. Together with their love for community involvement and their deep religious values always at heart, Grace and Nick became parishioners at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church. Here, Grace attended mass regularly, was active in the Rosary Society, and eventually it would be the parish where their children, Nancy, Ralph, Lou Ann, and Angela, would receive their sacraments. The Gallipoli children were all raised with the same traditional Italian values. Today, Grace, a proud mother of 4 children and grandmother of seven, resides partly in Blue Point and spends her winters in Florida. At the young age of 87, Grace continues to live life to the fullest. She enjoys hosting large holiday gatherings, spending time with her family, baking biscotti cookies and making pizza. The annual Festival of Saint Liberata will be held on Saturday, Sept. 7 on Main Street in Patchogue Village. The parade kicks off at noon.
