Why I'm Raising Money for Research
As Athina's mom, I'm raising money for "Athina's Ride" because I've seen firsthand how critical research is to my daughter's future. Every day, I watch my beautiful, brave girl face challenges that could be overcome with the right scientific breakthroughs. This isn't just about Athina—it's about all the patients and families walking similar paths. The funding gap for this research is real, and I refuse to sit by waiting for someone else to fill it. Through "Athina's Ride," we're turning our family's journey into hope for everyone affected by this condition. Every dollar raised brings us closer to better treatments, improved quality of life, and potentially even a cure. This is my promise to my daughter—that I'll do everything in my power to create a brighter future for her and others like her. Your support doesn't just fund research; it fuels our hope and strengthens our community of fighters.
