Legg Perthes
About Me
- Name: Barbara
I've been a stay at home mom, homeschooler, and now, back to work now that our boys are grown. Our youngest son developed Legg Perthes disease, a rare hip disease where loss of blood flow causes bone death. I started the first support group in the US for families dealing with perthes and it has grown to the largest worldwide. Contact me if you have a child with perthes and would like to connect with other parents. My husband and I also serve on the first faith-based search and rescue (SAR) team in the country. Our team's focus is on land navigation, incident command and trailing dogs that are scent specific in finding lost individuals. See our website http://sqsar.com
