I went for a magnificent wheelchair ride over the weekend in my Permobil C500s VS wheelchair. I rode the Gondola to the top of Vail Mountain and took the ride down Village Trail. It is about a 7 mile trail all on dirt roads. The weather was great and I truly enjoyed myself.

Hello to everyone,
My father, age 56, was recently diagnosed of MND. It all started April 2016 when we noticed my dad started dragging his right foot. He began to trip and fall more than ever in his life. He was extremely athletic all of his life and has worked from the early age of 7 until...

I feel as though...

It has been quite a while since I have visited, but I had to step away and get it together as some of ya'll understand. Dad passed about 2 yrs ago. I have moved on with my life but man I sure do miss him. Grief seems to hit at the most unexpected times. I consider myself a strong person but I...
I downloaded the audible book, "Prayers & Promises When Facing a Life-Threatening Illness" written and narrated by a PALS named Ed Dobson. Pastor Dobson was diagnosed with ALS in 2000 at age 50. He lived with ALS for 15 years.
The book is available on Amazon and Audible dot com.
