CHARITY

A-T CHILDREN’S PROJECT

HUNTER KEMPER OLYMPIC T-SHIRTS STILL AVAILABLE

To commemorate his journey, Hunter has created a keepsake for his fans that would also help find a cure or life-improving therapies for A-T.  The entire proceeds of these t-shirts will benefit the A-T Children's Project in honor of Kate and Olivia. 

Pricing: Adults - $20; Youth - $15

At the end of 2007, I had the privilege of meeting the Veldink family. The Veldink's lives have been changed by A-T because two of their children, Kate (age ten) and Olivia (age six) have both been diagnosed with Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T).  A-T is a fatal genetic disease characterized by progressive weakening of the immune system, nervous system, and other bodily systems. Affected children typically develop difficulty walking, problems with balance, abnormal eye movements, and slurred speech as well as chronic lung infections and increased risk of developing cancer, particularly leukemia and lymphoma. They are usually wheelchair bound by the age of ten. Though some diagnosed with A-T live into adulthood, their life expectancy is reduced tremendously. I was honored to represent A.T. in January as I raced the Disney Half Marathon in support of the A-T Children's Project. My life will never be the same after meeting these amazing families that struggle with this rare disease every day. Learn how you can make a difference in the lives of these kids and families that struggle with A-T by visiting www.atcp.org
