Henry's March!

Two members of the women's soccer team along with other student-athletes from Cal State Stanislaus participated in Henry's March this past weekend.

Family, friends and volunteers gathered Saturday for a march on the Cal State Stanislaus campus to support Henry Johnson. Henry is a 5-year-old Turlock boy who has Apert syndrome. The disorder resulted in his fingers being fused when he was born and a number of other medical issues that have required numerous surgeries. Apert syndrome turns up in one of about 160,000 to 200,000 babies, according to the Children's Craniofacial Association.

Henry's mother Rachel Johnson organized the event to benefit the Children's Craniofacial Association. Over 500 supporters turned out on Saturday, with in excess of $20,000 raised for the organization.

Cal State Stanislaus women's soccer player Jessica Sitarz and Heather Overholt volunteered their time on Saturday to support the event. Great job girls!
