Meet The Board: Gordon Penharlow

This month we’d like to spotlight Board Member Mr. Gordon Penharlow. He writes: “As we are all aware, the world can be a difficult and sometimes painful place. The work Larry and Jeri, and of course, the others involved in Operation Walk have been doing makes the world a better place for those they help. Continuing with this work and expanding it to include more patients will result in a better future for many people. My goal is to help as best as I can to make certain that this work continues.”
