The National LeioMyoSarcoma Foundation

George Peters

Chaplin, Audit Committee Chair

My name is George Peters, I live in Taylor, Michigan. I am the Associate Paster of Emmanuel Baptist church in Taylor, Michigan. I also work for Rogers Electric Supply, as a warehouse worker and truck driver. My wife Vicky (alias LMS Idol) works there also.

I became associated with NLMSF, when my sister-in-law Theresa Miller was diagnosed with LMS. Her and Vicky found out about the BridgeFest and went and met the LMS family. Four tow years I drove them to HugFest and dropped them off and I went to visit friends. Then in 2006 I went to BridgeFest with them and met the LMS Family. As people came off the bridge I decided to meet them and pass out ribbons to help make the people aware of LMS. I was amazed at the amount of people that came off that bridge. The next year I gave out more ribbons and in 2008 even more. People need to know about LMS.

In 2007, I was asked if I would be the chaplain for the NLMSF and I considered this an honor.

Then in 2008, I was asked if I would be on the Board of Directors and I was honored to be asked. I hope that I will be an asset to the Board in making decisions for the good of the NLMSF.

I have been asked to be the chairman of the Awareness and Outreach Committee, Jan Bariski is also on this committee. In making this committee work we will need your help. If you have had an even or fund raiser, please let us know so we can infomr others on how to go about organizing a fundraising event.
