My money goes to the EB Research Partnership. Their mission is to find a cure for Epidermolysis Bullosa; the skin disease that took my youngest son. Here is a link: https://www.ebresearch.org/

Donations made in memorial to my son have funded the creation of a gene therapy robot at the University of Minnesota: https://med.umn.edu/news-events/university-minnesota-medical-school-researchers-continue-search-answers-surrounding-rare-condition

For those who don't know about this disease, please watch Venture into Cures here: https://ebresearch.brandlive.com/venture-into-cures-2021/en

May you never experience it! My fundraising efforts are intended to protect others from this experience in accordance with my son's final wish.

This is a speech I gave 5 months after he passed: https://vimeo.com/254040117

And a brief memorial video: https://vimeo.com/242111083

I have been on the faculty on worked staff positions at Mississippi State University so the Bulldogs were his first love but I shared my love Michigan football with him as well.

If this motivates anyone to donate, it is worth losing my internet anonymity.
