Team - First off, I just want to restate my incredible gratitude for all your support and help during my Congressional campaign. Although it wasn't the outcome we were hoping for, the fight for our future is one worth having and we will fight another day. But, today I am writing for a different reason. I wanted to share with you something personal that impacts my family. One year ago, a few days before Thanksgiving, my wife Chelsey and I received some devastating news. Our then three-year-old son Jack was diagnosed with a serious and rare disease called Ataxia Telangiectasia (AT). There are only 300 or so Americans who are currently afflicted with this neuro-degenerative disease. As we have researched and worked to understand what this all means, we have come to recognize how difficult this diagnosis will be for Jack and our family. Over the next few years, Jack will lose the ability to walk, develop slurred speech, and have trouble swallowing and breathing. Other than using a walker, you would never guess it based on how active (so very active) he is today, but it will happen. While researching the disease, we discovered the A-T Children's Project. This nonprofit organization supports and coordinates biomedical research projects, scientific conferences, and the A-T Clinical Center at Johns Hopkins Hospital - all aimed at finding life-improving therapies and eventually a cure for A-T. As part of our Thanksgiving, we want to show our gratitude to this amazing organization by helping raise an additional $5000 before Giving Tuesday. Will you join us by chipping in today? Please help us find life-improving therapies and a cure for A-T by making a tax deductible donation. You can go to our personal page here and give. Happy Thanksgiving, Jim https://atcp.org/jackmowrer---- This email was sent to hbiden@rosemontseneca.com. To unsubscribe, go to: http://act.mowrerforiowa.com/unsubscribe
