Ellie Kovalcik: United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation

Posted to Greg Giessler

“The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problems.” –Mohandas Ghandi-

I received a letter today from a family acquaintance, Matt Kovalcik, regarding their third annual Charity Golf Outing for his young daughter Ellie, who has been diagnosed with a Mitochondrial disease. As Matt mentions in the brochure in the letter To Ellie with Love, he states, “we could either let it consume us or we could join in the fight to help find a cure and try to make the struggle a little easier in the lives of other families in our same situation.”

I have supported Ellie and the event in the past by playing in the golf outing once and making a charitable contribution the second year (I don’t play golf very well). I figured it would be a good idea to introduce information about the disease and the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation to help spread the word and possibly spark an interest in support of Ellie and others with this disease.

If you are interested in participating and/or making a contribution to Ellie or the foundation you can read the brochure by clicking here or check out the website www.umdf.org/kgwpgolfouting. Thank you.
