OUR MISSION:
ONE DAY-OCTOBER 21, 2012
WALKING TOGETHER RAISING GASTROPARESIS AWARENESS ONE STEP AT A TIME!
*In response to the open hunting of wolves in the states of Wisconsin and Minnesota the Gastroparesis Awareness Campaign has decided to not affiliate with either state from this point on. We do not condone hunting as a sport of these sacred animals.

God’s creatures both big and small quickly replace what lacks in compassion with society. Animals bring what patients who are sick and terminally ill need, which is, “Unconditional Love and Companionship.”

-The Gastroparesis Awareness Campaign Team & Founder
