On February 28, we will be competing in the "Rally for Rare" Pickleball Tournament in Raleigh. This event is more than just a competition — it is a mission to fund life-changing research for those living with Kleefstra Syndrome, a rare disease affecting hundreds of children worldwide including Adelind Metzger here in Raleigh.

We have joined the team fundraising challenge to help IDefine accelerate vital research, clinical trials, and the development of treatments for this rare disease. Every donation to my page—whether large or small—helps provide hope and a path toward a cure. Thank you for supporting us as we hit the courts to make a difference for Adelind and her family!
