Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

At the age of 23, I was diagnosed with Chiari I malformation is an abnormality in the lower part of the brain called the cerebellum.  Syringomyelia, often referred to as SM, is a chronic disorder involving the spinal cord. The condition occurs when cerebrospinal fluid (normally found outside of the spinal cord and brain) enters the interior of the spinal cord, forming a cavity known as a syrinx.  This syrinx often expands and elongates over time, destroying the center of the spinal cord. As the nerve fibers inside the spinal cord are damaged, a wide variety of symptoms can occur, depending upon the size and location of the syrinx.  I have had brain/spine surgery and several other procedures.  I suffer from daily pain, nuimbness, and tingling.  I hope that research can soon find a cure!

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

The second event to raise money for ASAP is in the planning stages.  A night or fun and MAGIC will be annouced soon...
