Dear Family and Friends, I'm thrilled to share that I will be participating in the 2025 Detroit Free Press Marathon! This isn't just any race for me; it's a journey filled with purpose and hope, dedicated to my future co-pilot, Olivier, the kindest and most resilient little boy I have ever known.
Olivier was born with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), a rare genetic disorder that presents many challenges but also showcases his incredible strength and determination every day. Our goal? To accelerate the groundbreaking research that promises hope for Olivier and many others with PWS to find their cure.
I invite you to join me on this journey by supporting my marathon training and helping us reach our goal of raising $1,000. Every penny will go to the Foundation for Prader-Willi Research Canada, an organisation committed to finding treatments and, ultimately, a cure for PWS.
Here's how you can help:
- Donate: Every contribution makes a significant impact. No amount is too small; your support is invaluable.
-Share: Spread the word by sharing this page with your network. The more people who know about our mission, the closer we will be to a breakthrough.
- Cheer: Follow my training journey and send words of encouragement! Your support means the world to me and keeps me motivated every step of the way.
Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by PWS. Let’s run, not just for the finish line, but for Olivier’s future and others like him.
Thank you for your heartfelt support and generosity. Let's lace up our sneakers and race towards a brighter tomorrow!
With gratitude and love,
Raïssa
