As you all know, Mom was taken from us far too early by a rare
blood disease called MDS, and bone marrow failure. I honestly can't even
believe I'm able to type this, but I could not pass up the opportunity to share
this with you. I felt as if Mom was giving me this as one of her gifts to
me.
I've been doing a lot of research on MDS and how I can get involved
and help raise awareness for this rare and vicious disease. Mom was a
rare gem and her disease was just as rare as her, affecting less than 0.003% of the population (10K out of 3
million!). I am going to do my darnedest to raise awareness,
starting with this 5K Walk/Run here in our own city of Long
Beach, CA on April 28th. How
amazing is it that this small organization for this rare disease is hosting an
event next month in our own city?? That's Mom right there saying hi :)
I'd love for you to come walk/run with me, but if you can't
that's okay too. Here is the link to my fundraising page for Mom.
I don't want anyone else to go through what we've gone through
if I can help it, so I'm going to do what I can.
I love you all. Thank you for all your love, generosity,
and support. It really means the world
to me and my family.
Love,
Mags
I love that photo of you and your mom. That's priceless. I wish I could be there to walk/run with you, but please accept a donation instead. Love you girl. xoxo.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to clear my calendar and be there with you Mags!
