Barbara Mare's Fundraising Page
Hello friends & family,
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! Last year, this event raised $70,000 solely to fund research for Pulmonary Hypertension, the progressive illness that I have been fighting since 2008. I am doing ok and continue to hope for a cure.
I'd love to see you at the walk but if you can't come, I appreciate your pledge. Your donation is tax deductible and is so very appreciated.
Many thanks for your love, support and prayers.
With love, Barbara Mare
