Hi, my name is Vanessa and we are raising funds to help ongoing research for pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD), a rare form of pulmonary hypertension, which our mom recently suffered from.

Crystal was recently diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension. Less than two weeks later, after treatment we found out that she likely had the rare form of the disease (PVOD) and that there was no cure. In lieu of flowers etc, we are asking for donations to support ongoing research for this poorly understood disease.

Crystal was known for her kindness, thoughtfulness and generosity. A donation of any amount would help us reach our goal. If you could share our fundraiser link with your friends, it would mean so much. With your donation we hope to improve the chances of others moving forward suffering with this disease.

Thank you for helping us honour her memory in this way.
