I am raising money for Defeat MSA Alliance in honor of my late father, Daniel Christie, who battled this horrible disease for a decade until it claimed his life. 

My dad was the best of the best. He was the most loving and caring husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, and friend there was. His sense of humor was legendary. He would always go out of his way to help those he cared about. He was the person I would always turn to for advice. Every time I came to him crying or anxious or down, I would leave the conversation laughing because he always knew what to say to make me feel better. For those lucky enough to have met him, you know exactly what I mean. 

This disease slowly drained him, and took his physical faculties, and drastically reduced his quality of life.

Please consider donating so that more research can be done to help those afflicted with this terrible disease.

About his disease:

Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare, degenerative neurological disorder affecting your body's involuntary (autonomic) functions, including blood pressure, and motor control.

MSA was formerly called Shy-Drager syndrome, olivopontocerebellar atrophy or striatonigral degeneration. MSA shares many symptoms with Parkinson's disease, such as slow movement, rigid muscles and poor balance.

Treatment includes medications and lifestyle changes to help manage symptoms, but there is currently no cure.
