Katie & Amanda's 5k Run for Olive Golden
Fundraising Page Image
Dear Family & Friends,
 
June 12, 2021 is a day full of optimism as it marks the first Annual International DDX3X Day alongside the Foundation’s first Annual 5K Run.

We will be running the 5K for Olive Golden who was diagnosed with DDX3X four years ago.
 
While Olive has faced and will continue to face many challenges, her tenacity to overcome every obstacle in her way is nothing short of admirable and inspiring. Olive is a spirited, intelligent, quirky, kind and beautiful six year old. She loves school, swimming, mastering puzzles, reading, bossing around her little bro, making s’mores, eating s’mores, riding waves in the ocean and all things Unicorn.
 
There are few things more fun than hanging with Ollie. She is a true bright light in our family.
 
So, to celebrate Olive & the first Annual International DDX3X Day, we will be running the 5K to help fundraise. We write this letter to kindly ask for any donation you can give to the DDX3X foundation. Every dollar donated is a step closer to helping Olive reach her full potential, to turning her day to day struggles into achievements.
 
Thank you all so much.
 
With Love & Gratitude,
Katie Roose & Amanda Mintzer
 

P.S. The official color of DDX3X Syndrome is Purple. So, join the fashion trend on June 12 and wear anything purple to show your support for Olive. For all those social media lovers, post a photo in your purple outfit on June 12 with the hashtag #DDX3XDay #Olivegolden to help raise awareness. 

 

ABOUT DDX3X Day 2021


The inaugural DDX3X Day will be held on Saturday, June 12, 2021. To commemorate the day, The DDX3X Foundation will host an international family day for DDX3X Syndrome patients and their families to participate in person or virtually in a community-building event. To increase awareness, The DDX3X Foundation is asking those that know someone impacted by the disorder to wear purple on June 12th, participate in a virtual 5k, and post on their social media accounts using the hashtag #DDX3XDay. In addition, in an effort to generate funding for research, the Foundation is hoping each impacted family will raise $612 in celebration of the 6.12 date and help reach the fundraising goal of $150,000 to develop Centers of Excellence for DDX3X Syndrome. Centers of Excellence are facilities with clinicians and staff who specifically understand the diagnostic criteria of the disorder and are dedicated to identifying and meeting the various needs of those diagnosed.
