About the White Family....
This webpage has been created to support the family of Melissa White (maiden name, Mack). Melissa and her husband Jeremy and their three children are pictured above. Last February, Melissa was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gerhig's Disease) and Frontotemporal Dementia (Early Onset Alzheimer's). She is one of the youngest people in North America to have been diagnosed with both diseases as only 10-15% of ALS patients around the world will also have Frontotemporal Dementia. From the time of her diagnosis to her passing on March 2, 2012 only 13 months passed and, for a disease that generally surfaces between the ages of 40 and 60, Melissa's death at age 30 is very rare. Melissa leaves behind her husband, Jeremy, and her three children ages 6, 4 and 2 as well as many family (White & Mack families) and friends whose lives she touched.
In an attempt to raise money for the Whites', a number of events have taken place already and there are a few things still in the works!
Here are some ways you can still help!
1. Vacation Auctions. Eric Nyvall has donated a number of 7-night vacations in locations such as Orlando. In addition, he is willing to donate more 7-night vacations to Interval International Resorts and donate the proceeds after taking the booking fee off the top. His continued generosity is outstanding. If you are planning a vacation, email the dates you would like to travel along with the area you'd like to travel to and book an incredible resort at a great price, for a great cause! To find out more, visit this page.
3. CT Squared. CT Squared has agreed to partner with the White Family fundraisers by contributing a portion of any revenue from referrals received from this site. To find out more about what CT Squared has to offer (and they offer A LOT!), visit this page.
2. a AVON Business Blitz! We have been lucky enough to have a number of AVON Reps donate a portion of their sales to the White family. To visit their individual pages, visit this page.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD YOUR BUSINESS TO THIS LIST in ANY WAY, please contact [email protected]. There is always room to add another sponsor to our ever-growing list and find new ways to support this family in the LONG-TERM. Thank you in advance!
