Looking for the perfect Christmas tree? Stop by the Whitehouse Tree Farm located at 11500 Obee Road in Whitehouse this weekend.
For every tree sold Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 2-3, the farm will donate $5 to the Progeria Research Foundation to help Kaylee Halko, daughter of Tim Halko, UT accountant in the Accounting Department on the Health Science Campus.
Kaylee, 3, was diagnosed with progeria, a rare, fatal disease characterized by accelerated aging, in 2004.
The Progeria Research Foundation is in the middle of a campaign to raise $2 million to fund a clinical drug trial for children. Kaylee will start treatment in early 2007.
For more information, go to www.sweetkaylee.com or www.progeriaresearch.org.
