Hi everyone welcome to a very special celebration for a very special little boy. Brighton is my almost 2 year old son. He is a sweet little boy who has had a rough start to his life. The doctors believe Brighton has a rare metabollic disease called mitochondrial disease.
Mitochondrial disease is an energy depleting disease. You can read more about Mitochondrial disease at Http://www.umdf.org or http://www.mitoaction.org.
This disease robs his body of the energy that it needs to do every day tasks. But Brighton has come a long way. Through therapies, prayer, and medicine he can now crawl and butt scoot quickly where ever he wants to go. He suffers from Hypotonia (low muscle tone), had a GJ tube to eat, has reflux issues, along with GI issues. But we are here to celebrate as he has been with us for another year!! On the 26th of this month, Brighton will be 2 years old. So we are all gathering to celebrate and cheer.
Today several talented crafty friends have decided to jon me in this celebration!

My project is a video to showcase Brighton's life this far. It will give you just a glimpse into our little guy! We hope it captures your heart.
We are walking for a cure for mito and you can find out more of how to help at http://www.azmitowalk.com
If you have an item that you would love to donate to be auctioned off to help mito kids get treatment and find a cure please leave a note in the comments as well. We are hoping to raise over $25,000 to help find a cure so that we don't have to watch more parents say good bye to their babies.
