Help Support Mia!


On January 15, 2012, my dad Tony and I will be running in the P.F. Chang's Rock n' Roll Arizona 1/2 Marathon Two-Person Relay. We will be competing as a team and will each run between 6 and 7 miles throughout Tempe and Scottsdale. We are asking you to support us by sending a donation to benefit my cousin Mia who was recently diagnosed with Anti-NDMA Receptor Encephalitis, a relatively new condition that can cause neurological problems and various other symptoms. Mia has fought hard and has already shown significant improvements towards what we expect to be a full recovery! We are asking for your donation to honor Mia and her family for their determination in battling this condition. Your generosity will also help fund future treatments for Mia and/or contribute to much-needed research into Anti-NDMA Receptor Encephalitis. Please click the "Donate" button on the right side of this page, or contact me at jason.alba2@gmail.com for alternate giving options. Thank you!
