Perhaps I have an especially tender spot for 3-year-old girls with unusual diseases. Or for little ones who have spent too much time in the hospital. Or simply for kids in pain.
The Greenawalt family is trying to raise funds for the Energy for Life Walk, October 2011. I hope you'll consider donating.
Their daughter Savannah is living with a Mitochondrial Disease. They're trying to raise $3000 to celebrate her third birthday, but their cause is much bigger.
Here's a link to donate: Energy for Life Walkathon: Saving Savannah
And here is a video Amber (Savannah's mom) made about Mitochodrial Disease. I couldn't finish it because I got too teary. But it really puts the faces and facts behind those dealing with this not-so-rare disease.
You can also "like" their Facebook page to get more info or simply to support them in their efforts and spread the word: Facebook: Saving Savannah.
