Hello PMS Families. I am Patrick (PJ) father of Olivia the Cutest, age 17. Olivia was diagnosed with PMS in 2004 at 11 months. We have, along with her mother, Diana, attended two National Conferences – one in South Carolina, one in Florida.

And now, I am knee-deep in a fundraiser to benefit PMSF, and I need your help to pull it off!

Here is the plan: Olivia and I will be driving across the country to meet families, check things off my bucket list, and raise awareness. This past year has taken a toll on many of us. After a year of traveling no further than our local grocery store, and now that Olivia and I are fully vaccinated, we are ready to break loose! In an effort to go big or go home, we’ve decided BIG is the way to go and are planning on a cross-country road trip!

I have set up a Facebook Page “Trippin’ with Patrick and Olivia” so families and friends can follow our Great Adventures. Here you can learn about our planned route and progress! Check it out at: https://www.facebook.com/TrippinWithPJandOlivia

So how are we turning this into a fundraiser? Our proposed route is approximately 6,000 miles. We are looking to raise $22.13 per 10 miles, with a total goal of raising $13,260 for the Foundation! Remember I said go BIG and I mean it! We have already raised 10% of the goal!

I am also giving back to the Foundation by donating $50 for every evening we are hosted by a PMS family, so far that is about $500. I want to reach $1,500 that I personally donate to PMSF because of the kindness of our families. If you have the desire and capacity to host us for an evening (or two) please email me at TrippinForPMS@gmail.com or contact me through Facebook’s Messenger App. Our route, with updates, can be found on our Facebook page.

Below is a link to the donation page. There is a link for online donations as well as an address to mail a check. Please share widely. Thanks for your support!
