To the Editor:

I would like to say a few words about Kathy Burbank and why she would be a great candidate for the Guilderland Town Board.

I have known Kathy and her family for close to 10 years, and she is one of the most caring and giving persons I know. If it weren’t for her hard work and dedication to help organize and run several fundraisers for our family, we honestly wouldn’t be able to stay in our home.

Kathy is a leader and very knowledgeable in many different areas of our community and a great asset to whatever position she is hired for. The Rodino family will support Kathy and we wish her great success in this position!

Editor’s note: The Rodinos — parents Lori and Rick, and their children Anthony, Gianna, and Rachel — were dealt a double blow in 2007, when Rachel, who died in 2010, and her father, Rick, were diagnosed with Huntington’s disease, a genetic neurological disorder that has no cure. In 2011, Anthony and Gianna were diagnosed with Huntington’s.
