STUFF ABOUT ME:
Bradley, my brother, has adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN), a cousin to adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). He is lucky to have avoided ALD. His project is to try and keep all of the young boys at risk of developing ALD disease-free. There is no reason why anyone should have to face the the nasty side of the disease that spared him.
I am trying to help him raise money for his project. His project (http://www.crowdrise.com/LorenzosOil/fundraiser/X-ALD) benefits the Kennedy Krieger Foundation which is doing a study on using Lorenzo's Oil for boys that are diagnosed with ALD. Research suggests Lorenzo's Oil is benficial to those boys who have been diagnosed, but are pre-symptomatic.
This is personal to me as he is my brother with this disease. While I can't help him cope with his disease, I can help him raise money for research to help others who have it.
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ME:
Votes are worth 100 Crowdrise Impact Points. With enough CIPs, this person can earn Royalty Status, and they can redeem their CIPs for awesome stuff. Vote for this person if they're doing something special to give back. If they're not doing anything all that great then you should probably just stop reading this section.
