Plates for Preston
We are proud to say that to date we have collected, with the help of our friends and fellow Marines, over 100 plates from all over the world. We are still looking for plates from various countries and providences.
The Motor City Chapter of the Women Marines Association has taken on a small
community cause to help a little boy realize his dreams of collecting enough
license plates from all over the world to cover the walls in his new room
.
May I introduce you to Master Preston Arthur McFarland. Preston has a genetic disorder called Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (or NF-1). There are quite a few symptoms of NF-1, Preston's are: Left optic nerve glioma (tumor on the optic nerve) , plexiform neurofibroma (along the left cheek, jawbone and ear area), underarm and groin freckling, numerous cafe-au-lait (CAL's) spots. You can read his story of courage and strength at his
Caring Friends website
located at
~THE LICENSE PLATE PROJECT:~~
Preston loves cars (and anything to do with
them) so we are collecting license plates. We are planning on using them to
decorate his new room (someday...) and would like to get them from as many
places as possible. Lon's grandfather saved all of his old plates as did
others in his family, so we have many many Michigan plates.
Thanks! TARA
To help with this project please mail your plates to WMA Motor City, Plates for Preston, Box 590, Romeo, Mi 48065. We will present these plants to Preston and his mom and dad. It would be great to have at least one plate from each state and any country. Feel free to send cards with your plate. Pictures will be posted on our local website as well as Caring Bridge.
