Tonight was a very special night for the HOD Association. 🧡💙

We had the honor of attending and speaking at , a memorial car show and fundraiser benefiting in loving memory of , who battled . Today would have been Mike’s 78th birthday, making the evening even more meaningful.

We don’t know the final amount raised yet, but tonight was about more than dollars. People who had never heard of Hypertrophic Olivary Degeneration learned about HOD, heard Mike’s story, and learned about this incredible community & organization.

A huge thank you to Mike’s family and friends, the organizers, car owners, volunteers, donors, and everyone who stopped by, asked questions, and listened.

And to our HOD family here: we carried you with us tonight. Every person we educate and every dollar raised moves us another step forward.

Happy 78th Birthday, Mike. 🧡
Tonight, the engines were reving for you!

A huge shout out to for the use of their facility and amazing hospitality. I also want to give a special “thank you” to Macca Cantrell and Annette Cantrell for the invitation. We are truly honored.
