Hey everyone! I am posting this link to my cousin Kim Pischner's (Rich Pischner's daughter... who is my Mom's brother) donation page. She is doing a walk for Huntington's Disease this weekend and needs your help!!
Anyone who knows my Uncle Donny Pischner, knows that he is afflicted with this terrible disease, but he doesn't let it dictate what he does. Not many people have this great outlook. We need everyone's help to wipe out this disease so that no one has to suffer anymore!!
Kim has been recently diagnosed with Huntington's and will be turning only 39 at the end of this month. Please, please help!!

I shared on my Facebook profile since it is for a great cause and maybe will help to reach her $500 goal. Thanks for reposting on the forum since I did not see this prior to today. RIP to many of my family members who were affected by this disease.
