On October 17th 2007. Now five-year-olds, Addi and Cassi Hempel were diagnosed with terminal Niemann Pick Type-C. (NP-C) also known as Childhood Alzheimer's. Take a few minutes and let me introduce the girls and their story as you watch these video's http://addiandcassi.com/videos
I'm calling all of you to band together, to pray, and help the Hemple Family get the word out. They are working with top specilists and researchers. The stories are mind blowing.
Please go to their website at www.addiandcassi.com to learn more about this rare, but very important disease that could impact many more people. NPC seems to be a gate-keeper gene that is being linked to Alzheimer's, Autusm, Aids, Stoke, and so much more. Could these two little girls, and other NP-C kids around the world hold the key to unlocking the mystries of these and other diseases?

Speaking of helping...A huge thank you goes out to Melinda Doolittle, and Terry Fator for bringing their amazing voices, love, and talent to our first fundraiser. It was an incredible evening. We had over 1000 guests, and raised, half a million dollars. WOW! Be sure to check out their videos on the Addi and Cassi website.
This year 2009, we had the incredibly talented Greg London as he brought us his ICONMAN show, from Harrah's. Joining Greg, from America's Got Talent, top ten winners Paul Salos(Frank Sinatra), and five-year-old singing sensation Kaitlyn Mayer.
