(Melville, N.Y.)– On Saturday, October 24, the Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) Foundation held its 2nd annual Making Strides for Better Bones Wheel and Walk.

The Foundation helps to provide answers to families, fund research, and maintain a network of support groups by raising money.
Making Strides for Better Bones is a series of walk and wheel events throughout the country designed to: Build awareness of Osteogenesis Imperfect (OI); Promote activities that lead to better bone health; and Raise support for the Foundation’s research, education, awareness, and mutual support activities.
Mr. Granger has over 19 years experience of water supply/resources management, design and operations and resides in Levittown, NY with his wife Dina and Daughter Alexis . Mr. Granger holds a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Polytechnic University and is a licensed professional engineer in New York State (NYS).
