Polka Dot Market

When I had my business, I was asked to do the Muscular Dystrophy Lock Up here in town. If you don't know what that is, it's where local business leaders are "locked up" for good. During the lock up, you raise money by getting bail money to get out of jail. I thoroughly enjoyed this and it was super close to my heart as a childhood friend had passed away from Muscular Dystrophy several years prior to this. I felt a calling to make my business a ministry. I did campaigns for St. Jude's and other families that were living what we were living.There is nothing worse it seems than seeing your child sick.

While my kids had been sick since their birth, little did I know that within several months my oldest son, Noah, would be diagnosed with Mitochondrial Disease. Mito is a neuromuscular disease that is a part of the Muscular Dystrophy umbrella. Like the Autistic spectrum, the
mito spectrum is very broad. You can have very mild symptoms or they can be fatal. Typically the earlier the onset, the more severe the symptoms are. Just last
October, my other son, Jonah, and myself were also diagnosed with this disease. There is no prognosis, no cure, and very few effective treatments.

So, when I came across her blog and found she was making her business her ministry, I was immediately led to post this.

I think these shirts are so darn cute. They have already selected their first family and I am hoping my business in Web Design will be able to help with her effort to make a difference!
