Please help honor our friend and loved one, Kelly Kimball, by contributing to the groundbreaking LMS research she inspired, funded and helped direct along with her dear friends Janine DiTullio, Dr. Tatiana Olmenchenko, and Dr. Boris Reva  via the support of LMSDR. Together they moved mountains to  gain a deeper understanding of this rare disease, uncover mechanisms of disease progression and test novel therapies that is on course to change the course of womens' lives for generations to come. This research, a shining example of grass roots scientific collaboration, was started to help keep Kelly here in this world with us longer. It grew into something that will be her legacy for time to come. Mt. Sinai, MSKCC, Columbia and Rockefeller University all joined the project.  Our love for Kelly and her mentorship made it happen and it was her wish to keep it going.

Kelly grew up in Vernon, NY. She moved to New York City where she founded Kimball Studio where she was an inspiration acting teacher. She will be missed by thousands of actors. She will be deeply mourned by her loving family, including her mother Karen Danielson, stepmother Linda Kimball, siblings Jeff Kimball and Kristin Kimball and their spouses Dani and Mark; her four nieces, Lauren, Kate, Jane and Miranda; Charlie Alford and his mother Ann Alford; step sisters Lori Shannon, Phyllis Danielson, Kara Dillon and their families. She was predeceased by her father, Tony Kimball, and her stepfather, Donald Danielson. 

Please donate in her honor.
