Smiles for Preston


WHAT:     We will be having a SMACKDOWN, with several instructors rotating in and out. The goal of the event is to help raise enough funds for a "smile surgery" for Preston.


 


ABOUT: “Smiles for Preston” was started by Preston’s parents, Sarah and Jason, in order to raise money for a smile surgery for their son Preston.

Preston was born with a rare neurological disorder, Moebius Syndrome that affects the 6th and 7th cranial nerves (those that control facial and eye muscles).  In Preston’s case, he has full facial paralysis, which means he is unable to show expression, unable to look side to side and unable to blink.
