I have some troubling news to reveal to those who read this (next to noone), I have been diagnosed (by me) with the dibilliating condition known as Raynaud's Phenomenon. Raynaud's affects the victim's quality of life and makes him more vulnerable to the harsh conditions of the Canadian winters. Affecting nearly 0.4% of all North Americans, it is a silent prison ridiculed by the uneducated. What does this terrible dictator do? It makes the victim's hands turn blue or white faster than other people causing a minute amount of excruciating pain. It means that I am unable to spend as much time outside without complaining sooner. It means that if I touch your hands, they are going to be freakishly cold. And the general populace does not understand. The will mock the victim's of this cruel twist of fate. They will call them "undead" and "weird" or "cold handed" and victim's of Raynaud's have been burned at the stake for being witches or vampires (citation needed).
But there is hope. I have taken up the challenge of this silent non-deadly killer with the creation of the David Rae Suffers From Raynaud's Phenomenon Foundation. And you can help by giving generously of your money and assorted pies to David Rae, the president and sufferer of this tolerated disease. Money given to DRSFRPF will be used to buy hand warmers and pies and the pies will be used to feed David as he struggles to continue on.
So help the many David Rae's who suffers from Raynaud's and give today.
