#SeasonofSmiles – Whitnie
As we approach the holiday season, it is customary to reflect and give thanks for the blessings we have. It’s also the season of giving and a time of year when many open their hearts and wallets to share in their blessings and give back to many meaningful charities.
For me, I enjoy the opportunity to live on both sides of this giving equation. I am blessed. I have a loving husband and three beautiful children. Our life is wonderful. We play sports, go to school and work, and enjoy everything that we can as a family of five. We raise our children to be kind and to give.
I joined The Association for Creatine Deficiencies a few years back in an attempt to help my son by helping others. My son’s disorder doesn’t have a treatment, but I rationalize my dedication to the cause in hopes that, in some way, I might make a difference, if not for him directly, for the others who will inevitably follow.
This journey that started out as self-preservation has evolved into a passion and a purpose. Today, the ACD is a thriving organization driven by mothers, just like me, who can’t give up hope that one day they will make a difference for their children and so many more.
A simple purchase that equates to a larger financial impact goes a long way toward helping the ACD sustain our mission to providing education, research opportunities, and support for patients diagnosed with GAMT, AGAT, and CTD. Participants in the
