Our organization strives to increase awareness of Chiari Malformation by providing information to families through awareness events, conferences and web site interactions. If you are a family that is forced to travel outside your insurance coverage area for treatments,  please look into our travel assistance grant program.  Our goals are to network families to the appropriate medical professionals for evaluation and or treatment, and to fund physician education and research advancements.

Chiari Malformation patient is one step closer to having the wedding day she always wished for but she needs your help

Kitty Robinson was diagnosed with Chiari over six years ago. Kitty was always an avid runner, often competing in local road races but after surgery Kitty didn’t know if she would ever be able to run again. The sickness, surgery and recovery was tough on her both physically and mentally. Her husband, Casey, along with their seven children and her strong faith in God were her support and helped her through this trying time.

Kitty wasn’t used to being the one needing help. She’s the one always trying to help others. Kitty and her husband are traveling missionaries, dedicating their life to the Lord and others seeking His word. She also dedicates her days to homeschooling their children.

Kitty is hoping that one more dream will come true, not just for her but for her family. This is where she can use your help. When Kitty and Casey got married, they eloped but soon regretted leaving their loved ones out of their special day. Together, they vowed that for their 10th anniversary they would have a ceremony to renew their vows.

Kitty and Casey are finalists in Entwined 2012, a national contest which would allow them to renew their vows and have the wedding they never had. The past few years have been rough at times and it took the support of family and friends to help them through it all. It would be a dream come true for the Robinsons to renew their vows with all their loved ones surrounding them.

Please help Kitty and Casey realize their dreams of the wedding they never had. Watch their YouTube video and vote now on Facebook – the couple with the most votes wins the wedding of their dreams.
