BristowEnews.com met Brittany in October 2007 at the “Family Masquerade Ball,” which was an event organized by Brittany’s friends Josie and Ellie Corrado.  Many local area businesses donated prizes, food, and supplies to help raise awareness about Brittany’s condition as well as others inflicted with NBIA.  To read the BristowEnews.com article, click on the following link:  http://www.bristowenews.com/news/article/2007/oct/24/family-masquerade-ball-nbia/
