My Dear Captain Birdseye, THANK YOU!


There are a few Desmoid groups that I belong to on Facebook and the ACOR.org board.   I read their stories and share in their frustration for the lack of answers that are out there.  It’s not just the tumor(s) that destroy you from the inside out, but it’s the unknowns that are the hardest to accept.

I could be pissed, angry and depressed.  I could spend my days in bed and no one could blame me.  But what does that get me?  Stronger??? I think not!  Happy??? Ummm, NO!  Answers??? Hell to the NO!!! Healthy??? Not likely!  However, if I choose to stand tall and fight this terrible unknown disease by creating awareness and raising money, I not only get a warm fuzzy feeling inside, but with my efforts I get the opportunity to educate one more person and raise one more dollar. 
Don’t worry, I am not gonna stand on my soapbox today, but rather I am going to praise one amazing and very dear friend (let’s call this person Captain Birdseye because they’d like to remain anonymous) who has touched me heart in a very special way by donating a dinner for 14 at a fancy schmancy restaurant.

The lucky 14 will dine in a private room at the Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse in Beachwood, Ohio.  Their minimum donation of $50 pp. will allow them to enjoy a 3 course meal (appetizers, meal, and dessert) and their adult beverages and all proceeds raised will be donated to the Desmoid Tumor Research Foundation (DTRF).  Did you do the math?  That is $700 dollars!!      

I am so honored that the dear Captain Birdseye has come into my life and befriended me and is helping me to spread awareness and raise money so that we can find our answers.
Thank you Captain, I LOVE YOU!!!    

xoxo,
Faith
