Hi everyone!
In April, skwcm80 and I will be running the London Marathon for Genetic Disorders UK! This organization supports patients and families of those with genetic disorders, as well as providing education and resources. This cause is really important to us, because her son has a genetic condition (Diamond-Blackfan anemia, or DBA), and we both know many who have been directly affected by other genetic and rare conditions (including me!).
We will both be fundraising in the coming months, but in the meantime, I wanted to share something that is a way to help raise money for this cause. If you click through the link below and use either Gumdrop (on the page) or click the red "Go Shopping" button, our cause will receive a donation when you shop at any participating store! With the holidays coming up, this is an easy way to donate without thinking about it, and many of the click through links for online shopping have coupons as well! All of the money that we raise this way will be sent directly to the charity through our fundraising portal as soon as we receive it. Please feel free to share the link with your friends and family as well.
If you are interested in donating directly to our efforts, please let me know! You can do so here: eta: DD
Also, if you sign up for Gumdrop directly through this link, we get a bonus $ kickback for our cause!
ETA: dd
**i will DD the link after awhile as it has our names. If the link is gone and you’re interested in supporting us, please let me know and I can PM you.
Hey everyone!! Like fuckyourcouch mentioned we’ve both been touched by genetic disorders. Some well known and others (like my ds) not so much. Raising money for Genetic Disorders UK is perfect marriage of raising funds while doing what we love. As you can imagine every little bit helps so thank you in advance for your help.
This is so exciting for you ladies! You are well on your way to hitting all the WMM races. I’ll check back into this as I start doing some holiday shopping .
