Dear friends, 

As you know, our son Gabriel was born with propionic acidemia, a life-threatening inborn error of metabolism. This year, to celebrate Gabriel's 18th birthday and to raise awareness of the disease, Marisa will run the Madrid Marathon on April 26th.

Over the years, your generosity has helped us raise tens of thousands of dollars in support of the Propionic Acidemia Foundation (PAF), a non-profit organization dedicated to finding a cure for this terrible condition.

We hope you find it possible to support us once again as we raise funds to help PAF achieve its mission: funding research and providing support to families affected by this nasty disease.

This will be Marisa's 10th marathon. Your support will motivate her to complete this awesome challenge in the spring.

Thank you in advance for your support. We sincerely appreciate every donation, however small.

Marisa and Juan Carlos
Mom and dad to Gabriel (17) and Alex (15)
