When our son was diagnosed with narcolepsy, an incurable sleep disorder as common as type I diabetes, I became passionate about raising awareness and funds for it. We have raised around $250,000 locally via the Wake Up Nashville, Wake Up & Run and personal contributions.  We also connected talented young NASCAR driver, Erik Jones, to a narcolepsy awareness program that will reach millions across the nation–boosting awareness at an accelerated rate. It is amazing what people are willing to do to support each other…I feel blessed to have worked with an A+ team.  Read more about the event in its Press Release.
