My daughter's first day of 8th grade...yes, a little emotional
I sit here and I'm amazed at everyone's generosity, support, believing in me and most of all the love and compassion that is shown. Many family and friends, but also people I have never met!!! There are no words that could describe my appreciation!!
The time is getting closer...yep, u guessed it. I'm somewhat nervous and scared, but fortunately I'm not letting me stop. Only moving forward!!
Plane tickets have been purchased...it's real!!!!
Got to still book one night in a hotel
Please continue to share my page...very much appreciated.
Life is Good...Peace Out!!

Hi everyone!!!!
TGIF!!!!!!
I wanted to make clear that when I say "stem cell" transplant, that they are my OWN stem cells.
Crazy, But they extract my stem cells while killing off my immune system
. They will "wash" them so that they will have no memory of MS. Also won't have memory of any of my vaccines...yep. u got it! I'll have to get all my childhood vaccines again! Who's gonna hold my hand?!
Good times, Good times!!
Life Is Good...Peace Out!

It makes my heart smile when I see names of people who have donated that I haven't seen in years an d people I don't know. I read all the positives vibes, support and prayers that are sent my way. Many of you expressed that someone you love, be a friend, spouse, parent, sibling and yourself fights this,"MonSter' (this is what MS'ers call it).
My hope, along with halting MS, is also make people aware of HSCT and highly successful rate in stopping this disease.
For the first time in 17 years of dealing with MS and what is has stolen from, I have HOPE!!
But ya know me. I'll find the positive side to this.1st. It has REALLY made me how much my family and friends love me.2nd. It has made me stronger to overcome obstacles placed in my life(and yes, more stubborn). 3. attempt things that I didn't think I could (still can't dive. total belly flop. It looked good in my mind). 4. continues to strength my faith IN HUMANITY!!
Most importantly, to me, it continues to bring closer to GOD!
Life Is Good, Peace Out!!

Well, I had been promising a picture of my first item that I have bought for my trip to Mexico on December 5. But was unable to download it to the site. So I downloaded it to my Facebook page that a friend has set up for me. You can go there and join. Another good way of keeping up with what's happening with my journey to HALT the progression of my MS.

It's me again!!!
I wanted to update ya'll on this fundraising site. Many of you have donated, but don't see my donations increase. What I have found out, is that if it by credit card, it will show the end of the business of the next day. This is a 501C3 organization, which means it is tax deductible. Very different from the well-known, GO FUND ME page which is not deductible.
This organization has set up an account and can only be used for my procedure and anything related to it. Full accountably for the $$
Thank you EVERYONE donating, sharing my story and most of all your support!!
LIFE IS GOOD-PEACE OUT!!!

Hi everyone!! It has been a while since I have done any updates. I had promised a pic of my first item that I bought for my procedure, but due to my technical IQ (extremely low) The pic will have to wait!
I now have in place my carers that will be with me. Susan Little, very good friend and a NURSE!!! She'll fly down with my 12/3-12/18 and then my aunt who lives 2 hrs away will finish out the visit.
Then already have 2 friends that will be able to be with me when I get home.
felling extremely blessed
I'm tellin' ya...LIFE IS GOOD!!!
They, w/o hesitation agreed to be there for and with me!!

I am no longer on the waiting list for the procedure. I have been given the date of....
December 5!!!
Christmas in Mexico!
It is crazy because I have been talking about this procedure for like a year and a half and it's actually coming to fruition! With the everybody's support, love and prayers this is going to happen!!!
Do you think they'll let me sip some wine while the procedures going on? It never hurts to ask does it:-)
