Colin's Inspiration


It really touched my heart hearing about Colin's oldest son and what an inspiration he is. It's easy to see what a proud dad he is, just by the way his face lights up when he talks about both of his sons.

For anyone who doesn’t know, Colin’s oldest son has a rare condition called Angelman Syndrome.

The organization that Colin has spoken about is called FAST – Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics. If you would like to read more about it, support it or pass it on, here is the link:

http://www.cureangelman.org/

This organization not only helps to support families but is working to find a cure.

The challenges these beautiful children face, doing every day things most of us take for granted and yet they have this incredible inner strength and indomitable spirit. We all could learn a lot from them.

Just a tip for anyone who shops at Amazon. If you go to http://smile.amazon.com/, Amazon will donate a percentage of your purchase to the organization of your choice and Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics is on the list.
