Over the past three years Brendan and his family have gathered groups
to assist in the benefit of many local charities that help children in
situations much like their own. From Make-A-Wish foundation fundraisers
and events to benefit the Epilepsy foundation, Brendan’s bright
smile has become recognizable by many that attend these events. In 2005,
Brendan and his group of friends, “Brendan’s Buddies”,
participated in the Sharon’s Ride for the Epilepsy Foundation at
Forest Park and helped raise thousands of dollars to benefit the foundation
in an event that stresses bike helmet safety and awareness directed towards
epilepsy.
As a group we rode with the name, “Brendan’s Buddies”,
and formed this foundation under the same name with hopes to continue
to assist Brendan in his support of the above charities and events that
Brendan enjoys. Brendan’s Buddies is most active in assisting
Brendan, his family and his doctors both at St. Louis Children’s
Hospital and the Mayo Clinic in finding a diagnosis and treatment for
his condition and conditions alike.
