Thank you to EVERYONE who has taken time out of your day to read, sign & SHARE my petition! I could never have gotten to this point alone! I am so humbled & grateful to the dance community at large!
I am excited to announce that, moving forward, I will be partnering with Adrenal Alternatives Foundation, continuing my advocacy & serving on the Creative Team!
Sharing my story on social media, and later writing my own petition, has led to me being connected with an incredible community of Addison’s Warriors, who I NEVER would have met otherwise, and they have also helped expand my knowledge greatly over the last 2 weeks.
This new partnership means that I am now directly aligned & partnered with not one, but TWO, incredible women, who just like me, had their own life threatening experience with Adrenal Crisis. Each of us had the same desire: an AUTOINJECTOR!
When I wrote my petition initially, I had no awareness of one in the works.
The TwistJect is in fact, a thing. Julia Anthony, founder of https://solutionmedllc.com has been working tirelessly to make this a reality. It has taken YEARS. It will be the first of its kind, and it WILL change the game.
Winslow Dixon, the founder of Adrenal Alternatives Foundation, has dedicated her life to helping the same cause, as well as bringing awareness to the many needs of all adrenal disease patients. You can check out the incredible work they are doing here: https://adrenalalternatives.com
...and make any donations on my behalf: https://adrenalalternatives.com/donate/
Take a listen to this incredible podcast episode of Addy Chat, where Julia & Winslow discuss the TwistJect AUTOINJECTOR, recorded in October of 2019.

What are the greatest needs currently to make this a reality?
1. Funding. Donars. Investors. More funding.
2. We need this petition to continue moving forward, gaining signatures, being shared across ALL social media platforms, and shared again.
3. If you are an Adrenal Disease patient, will you take a few minutes and fill out this Quality of Life Survey? Nothing will happen without data, and WE have the power to change that!

I am also personally asking, will you share my story by tagging 10 friends on your social media platforms, and ask them to do the same? Will you consider putting the link to my petition in you bio on Instagram?
I saw what happened in a matter of days, and I know with the continued support of all of YOU, and with God, all things are possible!
Our next goal is 2,500 signatures!
Together, we can do this!
Love, light & gratitude,
Dre Lakin
