Dosie's Campaign to Cure CBD
My name is Abby Sayre and Mary Kay (Dosie) Withrow was my grandmother.
My grandmother had advanced Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD), which is a degenerative brain disease that affected nearly every part of her body. She required assistance in every area of her life and was no longer able to understand or communicate. But, as she was throughout her life, she was patient and always kind. She is my inspiration and I love her dearly.
My grandmother passed away October 30th, 2016. after living with the disease for more than eight years. I'm raising this money to donate to the Cure PSP nonprofit organization. At this time, there is no cure for CBD. My goal is to raise money to help research efforts so that other families don't have to lose their loved ones to this disease.

I'm hoping to raise $300 by December 31st, 2016.
Thank you for reading my story. I'm so very thankful for anyone who donates.
