Man Walking From Atlantic Ocean to Encinitas to Fight Fabrys Disease
After more than six months of walking, Courtnay Midkiff expects to complete his Fabrys Walkabout in Encinitas on Sept. 1.
Courtnay Midkiff started his journey more than 6 months ago in Virgina Beach.
He has taken on this grueling task to raise awareness of, and funds for, Fabrys Disease, an illness he, his brother and mother, among others, all suffer.
Details of his venture at his website: www.fabryswalkabout.com.
His sole purpose is to raise money for the National Fabrys Disease Foundation http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/fabryswalkabout/fabryswalkabout (www.fabrydisease.org 800-651-9131) and spread knowledge of a rare genetic disease called Fabrys.
