Startup
Palm Sunday, 1973…
Startup
Another child
is lost.
A mysterious
disease is
sweeping the
nation stealing
children.
And there are whispers of pandemic - and fear.
In Retrospect
Conceived in Dismay
within the confines of a
fathomless grief
over the tragic loss
of thousands of children…
Startup
Doctors were
confounded.
Parents
grieved
and found
no answers.
And children died...and they died…
In Retrospect
Born in Commitment
in 1974 by two sets of parents
whose five year old children were
victimized by a horrible monster
that terrorized children.
Startup
The National
Reye’s Syndrome
Foundation
was founded
and began to
fight back.
Committed to finding answers. A reason.
A reckoning.
In Retrospect
Nurtured in Dedication
A grass-roots hands-across-the-
country movement began
to unravel the mystery and warn
other parents about the beast that
stalked their children.
Startup
After much study,
research
connected
salicylates,
combined with
viruses like
flu or chicken-
pox, with
triggering the
child killer;
Reye’s Syndrome. But there is no cure…
In Retrospect
Mature in Accomplishment
Not One More Child! is the stand,
and the mission is to
eradicate the incidence of
Reye’s Syndrome
