Thank you for visiting this page and for donating to a cause that is very important to me, and to help a disease that has had a huge impact on my family's life.

Each day, my father lives with the pain and stiffness that Anklosing Spondylitis has caused - but he deals with this, and has always dealt with it, with tremendous strength, courage and a healthy dose of laughter. 

The exciting results of recent genetic studies give tremendous hope for future treatment and diagnosis.  This fund-raising effort allows me to honor my dad - as I think of him every step of the race.
