Adam's Blog: December 2011

The sky is the limit! Starting tomorrow I am hosting a charity event online that will last all month long with a big blowout at the end with a giveaway. This is my first (and hopefully not my last) charity fundraiser. What is it about and how do I help? Well, I’m glad you asked. Visit my site and on January 27, 2012 find my table in Orlando, Fl. to help raise money for Parkinson’s research.
During the month of January I hope to raise a minimum of $1000 through a raffle/giveaway. Buy a book (it will also double as a raffle ticket) and proceeds will be donated to the Michael J. Fox Foundation to forward progress towards a cure. By the end of the month I will pull two random names out of a bowl (via webcast on my site) and give each a $500 gift card.
Join the fight against Parkinson’s today.
Here’s a little about why I find this cause worth the time and effort to support:

They support new and innovative ways to combat Parkinson’s.
When ideas run dry with one group they move the funding to where progress is still being made by another group.
Over 90% of the funds they gather go straight back into finding a cure.
The onset of Parkinson’s disease for most is at the age of 60, but can be found in people as young as 18.
Diagnosis of the disease is difficult at best with no set gene to point at or test to take. Besides the traditional signs associated with Parkinson’s disease – most go misdiagnosed.

That is something worth supporting. My list is short, but it hits the main reasons I want to do my part. Now you can help in this valiant effort by sharing and re-posting this blog.
Spread the word.
