💚 International Day of Charity — Every Act of Kindness Matters

Sometimes, the biggest journeys start with the smallest acts.

For our family, it started with bake sales, group walks, and a team called Farmers Daughters — a grassroots effort to raise awareness and support families affected by myotonic dystrophy.

What started around the kitchen table and in our local community eventually found its way to the open road with Pat aka Vroom Old Man.

Pat took that simple family mission and turned it into an extraordinary journey. What began as a goal to ride 125,000 miles in 125 days grew into a year-long challenge that ultimately saw him ride an incredible 201,901 miles and earn four world records through Atlas World Records.

But the records were never the real goal.

The cause was.

Every mile Pat and Pappy rode helped shine a light on myotonic dystrophy. Every fundraiser, every walk, every conversation, and every person who shared our story helped bring more awareness to a disease that affects so many families.

And it all goes back to where we started — a family believing that even small efforts can make a difference.

This International Day of Charity, we’re asking you to be part of that difference.

🙏 If you’re able, please consider making a donation. No contribution is too small, and every dollar helps support the continued fight against myotonic dystrophy.

From bake sales and group walks to 201,901 miles and four world records, this has always been about something bigger than any one of us.

Thank you for believing in the cause, supporting our family, and helping us keep moving forward. ❤️
