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.

Not too late for donations....

I will be taking donations for my Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome fundraising campaign until September 20th, the day before my Hike for Lung Health in Chicago. I am so proud to be one of the top fundraisers for this event. I thank each donor that donates over $40 with a personalized drawing. You will receive this drawing in the mail by mid October.

At this point, I cannot guarantee that your drawing will be included at the opening of the exhibition Deep Breath: Drawings to Benefit Lung Health. I am very busy and thankful to have so many donors. However, I am not able make enough drawings to match my number of donations. It seems every time I finish a drawing I have two more donations. It is a great place for me, and I am so grateful for the support.

If your drawing is completed after the opening of Deep Breath, I will take the drawing to the gallery and install it, so that it may be shown for the duration of the exhibition.

Thanks for your understanding!
