My sister in law Kelli is fighting an autoimmune disease called Scleroderma. It is a disease that effects the connective tissues and essentially causes hardening of the skin. Kelli is great and we are so lucky to have her in our family. She is a great friend to me and I don't think I would be maintaining my sanity juggling work and school without her help. Addie loves spending time with Kelli and Felicity. She has been really brave and positive since being diagnosed, but it has been hard for me to watch her struggle with this. On June 26 my family is running/walking a fundraiser in Suyracuse for Scleroderma. My brother has set up a web site to raise money for the Scleroderma foundation. I wanted to post this link for anyone who wants to learn more or donate. I hope Kelli does not mind me sharing a little bit of her personal life on my blog!
