My personal message:

Thank you for visiting my Personal Fundraising Page. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

My goal is to help PBTF by your giving contributions.  My Dad, Carl (Ki) Walsh was diagnosed with malignant brain tumors in November, 2005.  While experiencing my Dad's everyday struggle and fight to overcome this disease, I cannot begin to comprehend how diffiult it would be to endure as a child.  My Dad just passed away on November 10th, 2006 and I am more determined than ever to make a difference.  After witnessing my Dad's illness I cannot think of anything more satisfying than supporting the research to save lives, especially those of children.  Many people have been extremely generous and supportive of my family, that I want to be able to succeed in helping this foundation.  Research is necessary to help discover new treatments and a cure for young brain cancer patients in the future. 

If you can make even the smallest donation, it is so greatly appreciated, and not just by me.  Your generosity is appreciated by the children and their families that suffer every day.  Thank you so much!  I know my Dad would be very blessed by everyone's thoughtfulness and support.  :-)
