Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

Of course I am biased being Stephanies Mother, but there has always been something about Stephanie that has drawn people to her. The sweet but more shy one of an identical twin pair has progressed thru life modestly and mostly by example with great drive and determination. An excellent student ,outstanding athlete and now successful business woman, Stephanie has always set goals and made them happen. But sometimes bad things happen to good people. Showing grace and great strength in the face of tremendous daily pain she moves ahead. And today the goal she is setting is to initially raise $50,000 to begin the first steps toward researching why this crazy thing happens. Every great cause has to take the first step. Please take that first step with us toward finding a cure for the children who are being so greatly affected by this deforming and debilitating disease.

Anything that you can contribute will be appreciated so very much. Thanks!
