Post-Traumatic Church Syndrome
We all need people to carry us on their shoulders when we can no longer go on.
Joey Mullaney is a college junior at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut, where it is a rite of passage to hike Sleeping Giant mountain. A high school class valedictorian, Joey is reportedly “an amazing young man…taking Quinnipiac by storm” both academically and socially.
He was born with Friedreich’s Ataxia, an autosomal recessive inherited disease that causes progressive damage to the nervous system. Because the FA has confined him to a wheelchair, Joey thought he couldn’t climb Sleeping Giant.
His Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity brothers decided he could.
They are an example for all of us. Let’s be the people who carry each other.
Help Joey and others who have Friedreich’s Ataxia find a cure on October 11th by donating to the SigEp Team who helped Joey climb the mountain.
