In October, Mary Rountree and Daphne Carr will run the Chicago Marathon to raise money for A-T Children’s Project on Team STELLA.
Stella Wesnor is an eleven year old fifth grade student at Vestavia Central. Mary was her second and third grade teacher at Vestavia West.
Stella has ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) which is a rare genetic disease that attacks in early childhood, causing the combined symptoms of cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, immune deficiencies, and cancer.
Most children with A-T are unable to walk by age ten and often do not survive their teens.
Mary and Daphne are both very committed to this cause and 26.2 mile run. Any donation, regardless of size, would be most appreciated.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Mary at maryrountree@bellsouth.net or Daphne at daphcar@aol.com.
Thank you for joining our team to help Stella and many other children with A-T.

What is A-T?
Imagine a disease that combines the worst symptoms of muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, immune deficiencies, and cancer. Children with A-T are usually confined to wheelchairs by age 10 and often do not survive their teens. Because A-T is a multi-system disease, scientists believe that A-T research will help more prevalent diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, AIDS, and cancer.

The A-T Children's Project is a non-profit organization that raises funds to support and coordinate first-rate biomedical research projects, scientific conferences and a clinical center aimed at finding a cure or life-improving therapies for ataxia-telangiectasia, a lethal genetic disease that attacks children, causing progressive loss of muscle control, immune system problems, and a strikingly high rate of cancer, especially leukemia and lymphoma.
The A-T Children's Project is a registered charity in both the United States and Canada. |
