This year, I am participating in the Unbreakable Spirit® Walk-n-Wheel to spread awareness and raise money for the OI Foundation. 

Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) or Brittle Bone Disease is a complicated, variable, and rare disorder. Its major feature is a fragile skeleton, but many other body systems are also affected. It is caused by a mutation in a gene that affects bone formation, bone strength, and the structure of other tissues.

OI is a lifelong disorder and occurs equally among males and females and across all ethnic and racial groups. It is estimated that approximately 25,000 to 50,000 people in the U.S. have OI. With good medical management and supportive care, the majority of people who have OI will lead healthy, productive lives and can expect an average lifespan.

Please consider sponsoring me as I participate in this important fundraiser.  Thanks!
