No Mudder





Well there were problems in Frederick MD on Septembe 9th the day of the Tough Mudder and it was canceled. We had a team of 7 ready to go but were all disapointed. Even though Fighting 4 US received donations anyway so we were somewhat sucessful.
Still working on the web site trying to get it more user freindly so other folks can post.
Sorry this took so long to get on.

Blog Writers





Hello fighters! My name is Samie and I am Andrea's younger sister. In the next few months, I am looking to make some changes to Fighting4Us. One of them being that we are looking for fighters of RSD to volunteer their time to blog on our site. If you think you are interested in being part of the fight, please feel free to email us. We are not looking for world class writers, just everyday people fighting with RSD, who would be willing to share some of their stories and battles with other fighters and supporters.

Sending soft hugs and thoughts for a low pain day.

-Samie Gianopoulos (Andrea's Sister)

PS: Make sure to keep checking back for more changes and updates!

Thank You



We here at Fighting 4 Us would once again like to thank everyone for the many many applications we recieved for the Fighter of the Year Award and the Andrea Gianopoulos Memorial Scholarship. All the recipients of the awards have been posted with a little information on each. It was a very difficult choice for us here at F4U but we are confidant in our decisions and our proud of each and every one of you that took the time and suffered the pain to apply. Andrea would truly be touched by each of your stories.
