In my mind ther is a constant question I have for many other groups out there which is; just because one person may have one condition and another person have the other, or a combination..... does this mean that the first can't help the other??? I believe it is time that we all get together, join our support and strength, and do this together. How strong we can be if we just break down these silly barriers that stand between us, my friends!!!
I have been told from previous "advocates" that we can't do this, that I am dreaming or wishing for something that either wont happen or will only draw very few people.
Your darn right I am Dreaming, and Dreaming Big!! (Thank you Bevie... Bless you!!)
And you know, if we do only have a few show.........So What??? This gives us a bigger goal for the next year!!!! So much negativity from such people with great potential. Every day we have to face pain, fatigue..but we still face it, we lift up and move on!!! This is the same thing, lift yourselves up, let us join together and become a stronger chain, for all who need us.
Knowing Very Well the pain we can have from traveling back and forth to our doctors and our homes, I know this trip will be difficult for most of us. However, we must start having our voices be heard.

Update:Most of you know the heartbreaking decision that had to be made about the walk this year (2002)! Due to uncertain weather, construction on and around the Capitol, and the fact that we had to make this decision with-in a certain time (or lose over a thousand dollars on busses), we still had over 120 people at the conference. For all of you that stuck by us, who took the time to think about all circumstances, instead of themselves alone, I thank you! and I Tip My Hat To You!!!What a wonderful way to start showing people that we can indeed work together to get things done!!!
~~~~~BRAVO~~~~~to the guests of the first annual Walk For Awareness!!
There are just a few people who I would like to thank, for all they have done so far!! Their unselfish help and loyalty have gone above and beyond their personal friendships with me, they have been more help than words can say. I am sure there will be more also, we chronic condition people have a way about us! They also now the vital importance of working together in order to help get goals achieved, for you!!
