We hope you will attend the University of Michigan’s Heinz C. Prechter Bipolar Research Fund’s 2012 fundraising & educational event on Sunday, March 11, at the Michigan Theater: “Boy Interrupted” - a screening of a 2009 Sundance documentary followed by a panel discussion to raise public awareness of bipolar disorder and to benefit the Prechter Fund’s groundbreaking research into this debilitating illness.
The film tells the heartbreaking story of Evan Perry, a 15-year-old boy who took his own life after a lifelong struggle with bipolar disorder.
