Hello Everyone,
I do have some very exciting updates about our music and arts festival on August 19-21 to tell you about. I will send them tomorrow, however, since I write this update on the anniversary of the passing of the woman to which Honey Fest-A PKD Charity Event was conceived to honor; Norma Bryant. Amy’s mom, Logan’s Grandmom, and a woman that I respected and loved in a very deep and sincere way.

She was much too young and did not deserve what befell her. She did not deserve to be taken by a disease that does not have a voice. 12.5 million people do not deserve to endure dialysis, transplantation, and the fear that one day their very organs will betray them.

12.5 million people. 600,0000 Americans, 25,000 Pennsylvanians- All suffer from a disease that people think is rare. More people than cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, Down syndrome, hemophilia and sickle cell anemia – COMBINED. They need a voice. They need to be recognized! However, it is widely unknown, and as a result, the least funded of all of those diseases. We want to change that. We need to change that.

Honey Fest- A PKD Charity Event was created to honor the memory of Norma. It was also created to celebrate the lives we share with each other here and now. Music has given Amy and I such joy in our lives, that we want to continue to share that with each other, with our son and with everyone we know. What is a life worth without joy in it? We also recognize the power in music. Great power to do great things. To make people think. To convey a message that would otherwise be lost in the din of the rest of our lives. To remind us that life is serious, but most importantly, is fun.

Please help us honor our mother. Come celebrate with us. Have fun with us. I will update you all on some of the awesome developments coming with the festival.
