Dear Friends:

 

As you may or may not know, a little over four months ago I experienced a cardiac incident in Florida. It was diagnosed as Brugada Syndrome.  I was one of the fortunate ones to have a cardiologist familiar with the syndrome.  At this time there is no cure; the only treatment is an implantable cardio defibrillator. 

 

Through the Internet, my family began corresponding with Dr. Ramon Brugada, one of the founding brothers of the Ramon Brugada Sr. Foundation. Three weeks after my implant I was privileged to hear Dr. Brugada speak at a symposium for Electrophysiologists in Hartford, CT.  After personally meeting with him that evening, I was in awe of his remarkable dedication, along with his two brothers, in discovering this life threatening syndrome and their ongoing research.

 

It was then that our family discussed how we could help the Brugada Foundation.  Thus, the golf tournament was conceived.  Attached please find our “Save the Date” flyer.  Dr. Pedro Brugada is scheduled for golf and Dr. Ramon Brugada may attend the dinner.  I hope you can join us on September 14^th or consider making a donation to the Brugada Foundation, sponsoring a hole ($100.00) or contributing a prize.   

 

I encourage you to take a moment to learn about Brugada Syndrome at www.Brugada.org or www.mmrl.edu.  Thank you for your consideration and please don’t hesitate to call if you have any questions.

 

Sincerely,
