Donate for ARDS research and receive an original drawing

In March, at the age of thirty, I found myself suddenly ill and on a ventilator fighting for my life for 18 days. I was in the hospital for 21 days, but thankfully I survived. It has been a long and emotional recovery that continues everyday.
I have decided to join the ARDS Foundation team and raise morny for ARDS research. For every donation that is made over $120, I will give the donor an original drawing created specifically for them.
$100 dollars will go towards the ARDS Foundation and $20 will be used for materials and shipping costs.

These drawings will be done on 100% cotton rag paper with pen, pencil, and ink. Send me three words when you make your donation and those words will inspire the creation of your drawing. After donating email me at with three words that I will use to inspire a drawing as a thank you gift.

Hike for Lung Health

This weekend I attended the Hike for Lung Health in Chicago. It was a wonderful event and I was so glad to be able to attend in person after all of the fundraising I have been doing. It felt great to meet others that have survived ARDS and to see my favorite city. Eileen and I, she is the president of the ARDS Foundation.

Here we are at the beginning of the walk. I had a great team with me, thank you all for walking and thank you all for donating and following my fundraising adventure!
