Folks, In the past, I've come to this group for ideas for Christmas for my bride and projects for my bride and younger daughter to do together. I hope I've returned in kind, with the Christmas list project, something you can hand to your spouses/significant others. I come to you today with another request. As many of you know, I lost my older daughter last year, 6 days after her wedding. One of the major contributing factors was something called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome or EDS. This silent killer also took her mother when my daughter was 4 days old. There is no treatment or cure for EDS, but there is a dedicated bunch of folks working on that. We need some bucks to get a strain of mice that have EDS to do the research. There is a way that you, specifically you who are also on Facebook can help, free of charge. Chase Community Bank is giving out 5 million dollars to local charities. To determine which charities get the money, Chase is asking for votes on Facebook. Its not a winner take all system, i.e.
1st place gets it all. Rather its graduated, 1st gets the most. If you are on Facebook, please go an vote for EDS Today on the Chase Community Giving site.- posted
