Thanks for visiting my fundraising page!

I plan to participate in the OI Foundation Book Club Reading Program and I need your support! Will you sign on to support me as I read books for the OI Foundation? You can either make a straight donation by clicking the Make a Gift button on this page or you can make a pledge to donation a certain amount for every book I read.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare and complex genetic order of the collagen that is often characterized by fragile bones. Other characteristics include brittle teeth, spinal curves, muscle weakness, respiratory problems, hearing loss, and cardiac issues. OI is highly variable, ranging from a mild form with a few fractures to a form that is lethal at birth, and affects an estimated 50,000 people in the United States. Individuals with OI may experience hundreds of fractures in a lifetime. Please help us to provide answers to families, fund research, and maintain a network of support groups for families dealing with the daily realities of OI by making a gift or sponsoring me. You can improve lives! To support the important work of the OI Foundation, simply click on the Make a Gift button at the top of this page. If you prefer to mail in your donation: Make all checks payable to the OI Foundation. Then, please send your check directly to me as the event participant so that I can send it in to the OI Foundation. I truly appreciate your time, consideration and generosity!

Thank you for supporting this important cause!
