JENISON, Mich. -- Kate Veldink, a 17-year-old girl who lives in West Michigan, is one of only several hundred people known to suffer from an extremely rare disorder known as Ataxia-telangectasia (A-T).
Now, members of the community have teamed up with a national organization to help raise money, and better the lives of those who suffer from A-T. The Hess Lake Run for A-T is an event scheduled for this Saturday in Newaygo County, which will raise awareness and funds.
