ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! I’m thrilled that ALS has raised over 15 million dollars and brought so much attention to such a rare disease, and yet there are still many other important causes that also need our attention. In addition to dumping ice water on my head, I have made donations to 2 organizations that are near and dear to my heart and also need our assistance. I am participating in fundraising events for BOTH of these organizations and have provided links below for you to donate or get involved! The first is the Young Survival Coalition, an organization for women under the age of 40 who are diagnosed with breast cancer. To learn more: youngsurvival.org & to donate to YSC Tour de Pink Atlanta: ysctourdepink.org/site/TR?px=1228105&pg=personal&fr_id=1390&et=GA5wj5MIHoSK3GsmSGHrSQ&s_tafId=8223 The second organization is @nationalparkinsonfoundation because I’ve looked Parkinson’s disease directly in the eyes as it took the life of my remarkable mother-in-law last year. To learn more: parkinson.org & to donate to National Parkinson Foundation Moving Day Atlanta: www3.parkinson.org/site/TR/MovingDayEvent/NationalParkinsonFoundationHQ?px=1240048&pg=personal&fr_id=1740 I now challenge Joshua Jones, Ashley Kelly, Kristen Buckler, Donna Sims Flanders, Ashley Pruett, David Callaghan & The Indigo Girls to not only do the ice bucket challenge but also make a donation to the organization of their choice and share with the world why the cause is important to them. Together we can all learn more about each other and the important organizations that ALL need more awareness and donations!
