 A special thanks . . .
I would like to thank the many whose support has meant
the world to me. First and foremost, is the Lord Jesus Christ, as it is from Him I draw my strength and joy. He has placed many people in my path to encourage, exhort, and support me throughout my life. The first support group I have is, of course, my family: my mom, step-father, sisters, brothers, their spouses, nieces, nephews, former in-laws, and the most important man in my life, my son. Three of my sisters, one brother and two nieces also have MD, so they share many of the same experiences I do. My brother has participated in the gene therapy through the Muscular Dystrophy Association to further the research progress. God has also put me in churches who have prayed and helped with whatever needed to be done to help me physically. Another source of encouragement would be my friends. Without their servant hearts and strong muscles I would not be able to participate in many things, such as tubing down a river, camping, going to events in other people's houses, riding shotgun in a vehicle other than my van, etc. My co-workers did much on a daily basis (getting me drinks, warming lunch, helping with my coat). A special thanks to my roommate, Ruth, as she gets stuck with the mundane things in life, like laundry, dishes, meals, etc. Strangers have been most willing to help with doors, picking things up when I drop them and assisting me when I need help.
To each of my family members, friends and strangers who have helped me in the past, and to those who will help me in the
future...
BLESS YOU and THANK YOU!
