Hi! Everyone!!
After 4 months of soliciting donation to the TSA Walkathon, I was overwhelm by the outpouring support of all of you as far as England, Australia, Philippines and all over the states. I could not have done and exceed this goal without your help. Inspite of the recession, I was so positive that the Lord will help me achieve this not only for Marybelle but also for all the children afflicted with Tuberous Sclerosis.
For 5 years we join this Walkathon, this was the first time Marybelle was not able to walk due to the strong seizures she had before the event and also the new medication she is taking but still she showed up at the event and so happy to thank everyone for all their support. To top it all, first time in 5 years that we got the second place as the team fundraiser. As of now, Marybelle's team raised $5,086.00 and the total raised by TSA is 51,000.00.
To those who wish to donate, go to her website: http://www.firstgiving.com/marybelle.
It is never too late and from the bottom of our heart we wish to thank your for your endless support on this yearly event. God Bless Us...
Belle, Manny & Marybelle
PAMETUSA is supporting charities....like TSA
