My personal message:

Hello my dear Family and Friends!

As you probably already know my daughter, Bethany, suffers from an incurable autoimmune disease called Juvenile Dermatomyositis.  In a nut shell her immune system goes haywire and actually attacks her healthy muscles and can be devastating.  We have been battling this disease since June of 2006 and have had many ups and downs!  Bethany is on constant medication some of which the side effects are heart wrenching!  The frustrating part is because this disease is so rare there is very little research and that being said without the research a cure can not be found.  I am asking you for your help.  Can you please sponsor me in the Carlsbad Marathon?  Even a small $5.00 donation would be such a great help!

I thank you so very much for all of your help and good wishes!

With Love,

Christine, Bill,  Bethany & Rowan Stuart
