PROJECT MORRY
Your child swims for this cause every summer in our swim-a-thon and we thought your would enjoy learning more about Project Morry
The most frightening question a mother can have is, “Who will take care of my disabled child when I no longer can?” Jimmy, a 12 year old child with cerebral palsy, is the brother of one of our karate students at the United Tae Kwon Do Academy (UTA).
Each year, Martial Arts with Hearts and Bryan Klein’s UTA in Manalapan, continues to advance the cause of raising funds for various charities. Through our programs we have seen many lives changed for the better.
For the 2008 charity year, Martial
Arts with Hearts and Bryan Klein’s UTA will be raising funds for ENABLE INC to
benefit Jimmy and other young children. Enable is a non profit organization that provides assistance for
children and adults with disabilities such as cerebral palsy and muscular
dystrophy. They need supporters to raise money to help with the necessary basic
needs that we take for granted.
For additional insight in their
role within the disabled community, please feel free to view their website
www.enablenj.org.
Our job through the karate school is to try to raise enough money to help Enable construct modifications to homes for these disabled people. With the funds raised we will be providing wheelchair ramps, stair glides, and wheelchair accessible doorways. We will also be providing Enable with the funds to build handicapped equipped bathrooms and first floor bedrooms. We will also be able to provide them, with your help, a new concrete walkway so that they can easily maneuver their wheelchairs without jumping over broken up concrete. The already challenging lives of these people will be made a little easier with your assistance.
Martial Arts with Hearts and Bryan Klein’s United Tae Kwon Do Academy continue to work to help make a difference in the lives of people like the children and adults from Enable. Each and every person affected by this physical challenge has reason to hope because great advances are being made.
However, continued monetary donations are essential to help these people with special accommodations. Today, you can make an immediate difference in the life of Jimmy. I hope we can count on you to help. Please provide us with the most generous gift you can.
With grateful appreciation,
Regards,

Recent Past Events and Announcements
Eric and Josh have been with the
Martial Arts with Hearts http://www.mawh.org/ for
the past 4 years. This year we're doing COSAC (Autism) and we will end
this years fundraiser with our annual extravaganza at Brookdale College Collins
Arena. This is a large demonstration of Martial Arts combining 6
Tae Kwon Do schools under the UTA (United Tae Kwon Do Assoc.).
Eric personally ran a Bowl A Thon
in August which collect about $1.500. He commandeered a great bowler
"Parker Bohn III" who performed all types of trick shots.
It was a great event. He's hoping to do it again next year.
Please visit the website at http://www.mawh.org.
for more info or email me.
One of Josh's good friends (Mike)
is Autistic. He, AJ Glanzer and Mike are performing in the Pine
Brook Talent Show.
I think this should be
noted. It's a great idea and it will put these ideas in other
campers minds which will make for better children.
