Michelle Christie's Fundraiser:

Hello, I am very late in doing this, so I apologize for the last minute call to action! This month is, among many other things, Down Syndrome Awareness month. The Romp for Research raises money for much needed, cutting edge research for the mitigation the adverse cognitive challenges that people with Down Syndrome face. They are very close to developing treatments that will allow people like Mia to increase cognitive skills, lessen the inevitable affects of amyloid protein deposits (which cause Altheizmer's-like challenges beginning as early as mid-30's) and lead more "normal" independent lives. I have attended this event; it is a lot of fun and very worth while. I will try to get this started earlier next year, but any help you can give would be awesome! Thank you all for your emotional support, prayers and overall good vibes for us...we're feelin' it!!! XO Mia's Mamma
