Meg and her mom, Hermanda
As many of you know, my beautiful mother, Hermanda O'Connor, passed away from a form of dementia several years ago. It's taken us until now to feel we could stand up and attempt to make a difference. Thank you for standing with us.
We would love nothing more than to SELL OUT and set in motion the much-needed groundbreaking research that will crack the code to a cure.
If you would be so kind, please share this event with your friends and family members! You can come to play, or just to cheer on your favorite player!
As much as I miss my Mom, I know she will be with us through this journey, and we will raise a toast to her and to all of the wonderful people that are touched by this awful disease. Thank you for joining this fight.
