Do you suffer from excrutiating headaches? Sleeplessness? Loss of Vision? No? Well, help those who do.

This is a public service announcement about a fundraiser my cousin is doing.  He's been diagnosed with chiari, a condition I'd never heard of before his diagnosis.  Essentially, his brain has slipped down on his spinal cord, and it causes a lot of pain, nausea, sleeplessness, etc.  It's pretty miserable, and he's had a bunch of surgeries along with other medical treatments to help him with it.  He's walking to help raise research money for this condition.  I urge you to consider contributing to the Chiari cause:  https://www.conquerchiari.org/ccwaa12/KennethOwensby.
