With my own health problems, I feel strongly about doing what I can to help others experiencing major health problems. Especially if I "know" that person. While I may not know Conrad Adam well, I do have a connection in that I once rented an apartment to Conrad's father Karl, and I now rent from Karl. Recently Conrad was diagnosed with a form of cancer for which he must undergo 29 weeks of chemotherapy. After 10 weeks, the tumor will be removed. He has a long road to travel, but his wonderful friends have created Conrad's Clan. They are selling t-shirts and wristbands. Shirts are $15, and the wristbands are only $2. ALL of the proceeds are being donated to the family. Our office ordered the wristbands, which are white with green lettering. One side says "No One Fights Alone" and the other says "Conrad's Clan." They can be purchased by sending a Private Message (not a comment) to them on Facebook at
https://www.facebook.com/#!/ConradsClan. If you do not have Facebook, you can still order at conradsclan(at)gmail.com. This is not a link, and the (at) should be replaced with the usual @ used in email addresses, but is not being shown that way to prevent web viruses from spamming their mailbox.
These are some seriously motivated kids helping to raise money for their friend's fight (they will be juniors this year at Riggs High). They went so far to organize as an official non-profit agency 501(c)3. If you are reading this, please spend the $2 to help support Conrad--a great kid from a good family who has quite a fight ahead of him. Thanks! And it you are interested in knowing how the organization of "Cupcakes for Conrad" is going, please leave a comment and we will update you as soon as we have approval from the family.
