Jumping for Williams

Event at Big Air Laurens raises awareness of Williams syndrome

Posted

Big Air Laurens played host to supporters of an effort to encourage research into the causes of Williams syndrome on Saturday. 

The first Jump for Williams (in place of a more traditional Walk for Williams) also featured a ride in the Big Air Limo. 

Williams syndrome (WS) is a genetic condition that is present at birth and can affect anyone. It is characterized by medical problems, including cardiovascular disease, developmental delays, and learning challenges. These often occur side by side with striking verbal abilities, highly social personalities, and an affinity for music. WS occurs equally in males and females and in all cultures worldwide.
