My Life with Multiple Sclerosis 040123

Hellooooooooooooooo, Possuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuums!  

Today is Saturday, April 1, 2023.  It’s going to be a beautiful day in Dallas with a high of 83.

Good Afternoon, Possums, from the Celebrity Suites of the Wyndemere Condominiums on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas and Happy Saturday and Happy Weekend.  It’s been a bit of a long week, but it’s over now.

My body is pretty tired from the events of the week - only two more PLEX to go.  But just when I consider giving up and feeling sorry for myself, something always slaps me in the face and says STOP IT.  Well today, it was one of my Besties, Shannon Brown.

I have known Shannon since God was a boy, OK, 27 years - and he always looks out for me.  We have lived together and worked together and for some odd reason, my he looks out for me (as do Roger and Christopher - both of whom are just awful - LOL).

So I volunteered with Shannon and Roger this morning at the Irving Marathon.  All three of us sit on the Board of Directors for the Irving Schools Foundation (http://irvingschoolsfoundation.org).  Check it out and see what we do.

Now, I’m home and getting ready to go to the “Toast to Life” fundraiser for the Resource Center.  It’s an 80’s theme.  The Resource Center is the Parent organization of the Community Health Clinic I volunteered for…for 12 years.  Michael Urie (Ugly Betty, Shrinking) is Guest Host so it should be fun.  Not sure how long I will last.  I know I keep pushing myself, but three PLEX this week has kicked my butt and I have two more to go.  But I am NOT complaining.  I have amazing family and friends at home in SC who continually support me and pray for me and the BEST group of family/friends here in Dallas who constantly look out for me.

I want to THANK EVERYONE who has donated to my MSWALK fundraiser.  In two weeks, over $8000 has been raised - 80% of my goal and two weeks left.

Help me get to $10,000 - we need a cure.  I don’t wish this on anyone.

I hope I can count on your support again this year to help find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis and sponsor me in the WalkMS.  

If you would like to support me and make a donation, click the link provided below to make your online donation.  If your company matches, please indicate that as well.

If you are uncomfortable donating online and would like to send a check, please text me or send me a note through Facebook Messenger and I will send you my mailing address.

Once again, thank you for your support.  Let’s eradicate Multiple Sclerosis, if not for any other reason than it just sucks.  I kicked the fundraising off with a $500 donation.  Gotta walk that walk and talk that talk.

Anyhoozle, I hope you are enjoying a wonderful weekend? 

Whatever, your day holds and whatever your plans may be, I wish you all a SPECTACULAR  day.  Do everything today with kindness in your heart.  The world is full of kind people.  If you can’t find one, be one!  

To all of my fellow MS Warriors, keep fighting the good fight. And to all MS Warrior Supporters, Thank You!   Your support means everything.

Peace, Love and Blessings to you all.
