Message from the Author:
Hi! I am Kendall (aka Whoosher Girl) and I just turned 7 years old. Mitochondrial Disease Awareness Week is September 19-25 which is the perfect time to ask for your support in getting a book published that I have written during the pandemic.
It is titled Whoosher Girl: “Time for Kindness” and is a story about a girl with superpowers. I would like to use the profits of this project to support research for Leigh Syndrome, the mitochondrial disease that affects me and other children. Because Leigh Syndrome is a rare disease and my gene is super-rare, my goal is to raise awareness and money to help researchers find a cure.
Please help me make a difference. By purchasing this book and sharing it with others, you give hope to me and so many others who desperately want to imagine a life without mitochondrial disease.
What We Need & What You Get
We are hoping to raise $10,000 to publish this book, which includes editing, illustrating, publishing, e-book creation, marketing, publicizing and creating a website at WhoosherGirl.com, which has already been reserved.
While our goal is to fund life-saving research through the UMDF Kendall Conner Research Fund from the profits of this book, I’d also like to be able to donate some copies of my book to hospitals, doctor’s offices, libraries and schools so that other children can see that they can make a difference too!
