Hey guys!!
(If you get this twice I apologize in advance) The following link is for the Atlanta Huntington's Disease 5K Run/Walk, October 24, 2009 http://www.firstgiving.com/pamspeace . I am writing to you all to ask for support in this 2nd Annual Event. There are several ways that you can offer support, you can of course donate funds through that link, OR you can participate in the event and join my team though that link, OR you can simply pray for the event and those participating and those affected by HD. I'm terrible at writing to ask for money for fundraisers so I apologize for this being so short and to the point because I have no idea how to sugar coat it.
Huntington's Disease is what my mom had and was the cause of her death. My brother, sisters and I all have a 50/50 chance of carrying the HD gene, which is a dominant gene. I am doing this for my mom, my siblings and my children. HD has affected my family in many ways and my mom gave a lot of time to try to help in testing for a cure and for treatment. My goal is to continue her legacy, that's why I name my team Pam's Peace. Mom had peace in the midst of the storm because her Heavenly Father gave her peace while she battled this horrific disease. Mom never gave up and I'm not going to either... If I have HD and my efforts will benefit my children then they are all worth it, the time, the effort... all of it. That's the mentality my mom had and I'm adopting as my own... And letting the peace that passes all understanding comfort my past hurts from HD as I go the route to do what I can to fight to find a cure for HD and to continue my mom's legacy.
I hope that you will all prayerfully support me, my team and those out there dealing with HD. If you can financially support too, that is awesome, I would love to meet my goal of $5000 towards funding research for HD. Again the link is: http://www.firstgiving.com/pamspeace
Thank you so much!!
