Witness the power of social media - no donations, just help kids be kids
Fri, 04/03/2015 - 22:23For those of you living with or caring for someone with a seizure disorder, you'll understand when you see the video in our attached link.
My wife and I are hoping to raise funds to help other families in the Sheboygan, WI area deal with the diagnosis and ongoing care related to children with epilepsy. However, we're in a bit of a tight spot ourselves so we've started an Indiegogo campaign which, if successful, will help us pay it forward. After we meet our goal, 50% of the funds will be sent to the Epilepsy Foundation of America and the other 50% will be sent to the Epilepsy Foundation Heart of Wisconsin.

Or go to Indiegogo.com and search "Josh just wants to be a kid."
I'm not asking for donations directly (although we certainly won't turn them down). Rather please visit our campaign and forward the link in your social media. The power of crowdfunding and social media has proven itself over and over again. This has the power to change hundreds of lives, isn't it worth 5 seconds to send on the link?
Thanks for your help.
