I just want to send a great big thanks to the riders, volunteers, donors, and sponsors of the BP MS150 that took place last weekend. So far the total amount raised is $7,483,316.56 and still counting (the pledges aren't due until May 22). I have an awesome story I'd like to share....I received an e-mail yesterday from my Aunt Renee. She forwarded me another e-mail from a friend of hers that rode in the MS150 this past weekend. At the start of the race she received a bandana. She wrote MY name on the bandana and tied it to her bike. When she got tired, she would look at my name and KEEP ON GOING!! She has offered to mail me the bandana as a reminder of all of the people who care. I was so touched by this story that it brought tears to my eyes. There are so many people who really do care and are willing to sacrifice their time and energy to help me and the other MS fighters. It's so crazy to think about how much this friend of my aunt's has impacted my life and I've never even met her! If those of you reading this participated in the MS 150 in some way or know someone who participated.....tell them they ROCK!!
On another positive note, my injections are getting better:)!! They're still painful, but not as bad as last week. And the welps at the injection site are not as big and do not last as long. I've been feeling quite well these past 2 weeks. I seem to have more energy than I've had in the past few months!
I thought this would be an appropriate quote since I'm headed to Puerto Vallarta on Thursday for a nice little vacation! "Vacation used to be a luxury, however, in today's world, it has become a necessity."
~Now isn't that the truth?!:)
