October, 2014 – Raising funds in honor of Jason Budjinski

Dear family and friends:

I NEED YOUR HELP WITH A FUNDRAISER! I’ll be posting this throughout the month of October.

I am doing my own online fundraiser for PSC Partners Seeking a Cure, a 501(c)3 nonprofit foundation working together to provide research, education and support for people diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). I’m doing this in honor of my son Jason during his birthday month, for he suffers from this cruel disease. I’m hoping you can help. PSC is an autoimmune disease of the bile ducts that affects the liver for which there is no cure — sometimes not even transplantation. (It is not uncommon for someone to require up to four transplants.)

Here’s how it goes: www.pscpartners.org – hit the “Donate Now” button and mention it’s in honor of Jason Budjinski.

There are three choices, or you can make up your own. I’m making it easy, for it’s my own fundraiser. I also welcome donations from your business. I hope it goes viral.

1.) Skip that drink or second drink that you would have next time you go out to dinner – make a donation to PSC Partners Seeking a Cure in honor of Jason Budjinski.
2.) Skip buying that next bottle of wine or scotch, etc. and make a donation.
3.) If you don’t drink, it doesn’t matter; you can just make a donation. See? It’s easy.

Skipping the drink is purely symbolic (like participating in a fundraiser walk) since PSC patients can’t or shouldn’t have alcohol. Patients suffer daily from MANY complication of PSC. I know Jason sure does — too many to mention.

Open your hearts and remember that because PSC is a relatively rare disease, PSC Partners doesn’t get the funding that bigger organizations receive. My fundraiser has no minimum and, of course, no maximum: $25, $50, $100 or more — whatever you can donate to help find a cure. Any amount will be very much appreciated. There will be no work on your part. AND, please share this with your FB friends. The PSC Partners Seeking a Cure organization has been such an inspiration and help to us. Research is in progress toward finding a cure. Trials are being done, but much more work is needed.

Again, please make your donation at www.pscpartners.org and hit the “Donate Now” button to the left of the main page. Make sure you mention “in honor of Jason Budjinski.” You can also let me know via FB or private message if you wish. Thank you all in advance. Your donation is very much appreciated by our entire family. My Facebook family and friends keep me going every day.

God bless you all. Much love and hugs.

The Budjinski Family
