I AM ALMOST THERE...thank you to all who have donated!  I truly appreciate it and am looking forward to the marathon.  Can't belive its quickly approaching!!

And those who are visiting for the first time, here is what I am up too:

I cannot believe I am writing to tell you that I have decided to train and run in a marathon.  Yes - that 's right - I plan to drag my body across 26.2 miles on April 25th at the Country Music Marathon in Nashville, TN.  I am being joined by 10 other Sjogren's supporters on "Team Sjogren's!"   We all began training in early January and now I have to raise funds to support my effort.

I am running the marathon with 10 other runners - all of whom have agreed to join "Team Sjogren's."  We are all running and raising awareness and money for the Sjogren's Syndrome Foundation.

Over the past 5 1/2 years, as CEO of the Sjogren's Syndrome Foundation, I have met thousands of patients who suffer from Sjogren's.  Patients who each day wake up and have to suffer the debilitating effects that Sjogren's brings with it.   Many of you know that my mother has Sjogren's - so not only has this been a professional passion of mine - but it has become a personal mission to increase awareness and raise funds for Sjogren's research!

I hope you will consider making a donation to my effort.  My goal is to raise $3,000 and I need all the help I can get.  I am not asking for corporate support so I am reaching out to family and friends to support me.  Donations through this website are simple, fast and totally secure.

On behalf of the millions of patients with Sjogren's - many thanks for your support! 

PS - if you know someone who may support my efforts - please forward my website to them.
