Colin Farrell is a frequent flyer!
I would love to know how many frequent flier miles Colin Farrell has accrued in his account! He just returned from a quick vacation with his girlfriend Alicja Bachlede-Curus in Mexico early last week and this weekend the Golden Globe winner was guest of honor at a charity gala in Chicago. These are photos of him at LAX from today.
Colin showed his support for The Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics during their 2009 Gala “An Evening With The Stars To Benefit The Angels” on December 5th. The event included dinner, dancing and a silent auction to raise money for research toward a cure for the rare neurological disorder.
In October 2007 Farrell announced that his first born son James was diagnosed with Angelman’s.
“The families involved with FAST have created a strong support network while tirelessly assisting those dedicated to finding a cure. I’m extremely proud to support such an inspiring organization,” said Farrell.
Many times this disorder is misdiagnosed as Autism, cerebral palsy and/or mental retardation.
“We are excited about the progress we’ve made in helping to find a cure for Angelman Syndrome,” said Paula Evans, founder and chairperson of FAST. “Because this disease is so often misdiagnosed, it’s important for us to raise awareness and funds to continue the great strides we’ve already achieved. We hope to surpass last year’s success with yet another fantastic evening.”
