26 for RTS

I recieved this email from Addie's Mom, Terri. Her husband, Michael is running a marathon in support of RTS. I think this is awesome! Terri and Michael are the most wonderful people and are truely awesome parents to Cate and Addie. This is a great way to raise RTS awareness and help out a fabulous cause!

If you would like to donate and help Michael to reach his goal click on the link below (at the end of the post).

Here is the email:

Hello friends, family. Michael ran the Lakefront Marathon last October and made even Cate cry tears of pride at the finish line. He's doing it again... but asking for a bit more than moral support.

Michael has created a page asking for sponsors/donations to support the Special Friends Foundation, an entity instrumental to us when we first got Addie's diagnosis or Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome. The foundation sent us information, materials to organize Addie's medical and therapy care and connected us to the RTS list serve, our global family that we "e-talk" to every day. Many of you have heard us refer to our great RTS Reunion trip to Wisconsin Dells each March (or are there with us!) - Special Friends Foundation, along with the Wesley T. Helmbrecht Foundation make these revitalizing reunions possible for families each year. Please cheer Michael on to his goal by making a donation to help more families affected by RTS learn, grow and connect. Click on the link in my signature below.

Thanks and all the very best to you,

Terri, Cate, Michael and Addie
Michael is running 26.2 miles for RTS!
