My personal message:

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

On March 17, 2008 Lexi was diagnosed with two extremely rare autoimmune diseases, Scleroderma and Juvenile Dermatomyositis.  There are less than 1000 children in the country that are afflicted with the systemic form which can be life threatening.   These are chronic diseases that have no cure.  The diseases have come back in her lungs, muscles and hands.  The tissues of the involved organs become hard and fibrous; everything from her skin, vascular system, organs and muscles become effected.   Since the reoccurence of these diseases, Lexi has had to go on chemo and IV infusions of steroids.  We pray that the side effects our minimal!  Our family is passionate about finding a Cure for our beautiful daughter. 

Last year The Fight for Lexi raised over $11000 for the Scleroderma Foundation Walk-a-Thon.  Financially times are tough, however I implore everyone to make a financial sacrifice for Lexi!  Every little bit counts!  We are all parents and I know how this tugs at the heart and soul of each of you.  We are blessed to have been given such generous friends, family and co-workers. 

Lexi has been such a Blessing from God!  Your prayers and love have sustained us through a year of fear, shock, grief and Hope!  Lexi is only 16 years old and has so much life ahead of her to experience...

Thank you for taking part in The Fight for Lexi!
