Re: Please indulge me -- OT -- sort of

What a lovely story. PLS is not known in Yuma at all. I try, but as your

slogan says, I can't do it alone. I hope in time, mine that is, I can start some

kind of support locally. A lot of work for one with limits but one never knows

what their limits are until they reach them. Forward we go...

Sincerely,

What a fantastic son you have to do this. You should be very proud.

OK, now it's my turn. My son has his own computer consulting

business and he forwarded my Teamwalk letter, along with his own, to

friends and colleagues. We got about $350 in donations from them.

Pretty good, I think.

You have a right to be proud - and you must be a " bonus Mom " for your son to do

this for you. Congratulations for doing something right with your children

(and/or picking the right husband with great kids). Susieq in Calif

Would you please allow me to brag a little about my son (actually,

I'm his Bonus Mom as the stepkids call me). has called me

twice this morning...he's selling raffle tickets at work for our

CA TW and he wanted to know how he could explain PLS and

HSP (he had forgotten he had the SPF website or maybe he just

wanted to call and tell me what he was doing). He had

approached his boss about the company being a Corporate

Sponsor but the boss didn't think they could alone BUT he'd do

all he could to help. His boss brought in a lemon pound cake

today and sent out a company wide memo that they

were selling slices for $2 and also he was selling raffle

tickets for this very worthy organization and he went on

to say he'd be participating in a Walkathon on October 2nd.

We have had tremendous support from the community

providing raffle items so he listed those too. His second call

was to tell me he needed more raffle tickets! And, they'd

do another bake sale next week.

He never mentioned it was for his stepmother, he just said

the disease was similar to Lou Gehrig's disease. He's

pretty sure that now he'll collect enough money to reach

the $250 level to be a Corporate Sponsor which, of course,

will make him proud to see his company's name on our

Corporate Sponsor Board.

Had to share...thanks for listening, [i'm crying]
