Hello to all,
I finally figured out how to start a new thread! I think.
Well, I did it! I attended the kick-off event for the Southern Indiana ALS walk on Thurs, 7/31/08. After several different people getting up and talking in front of the crowd, it was my turn! I guess I talked for about 15 minutes, mostly about working with ALS, kids, etc., then when I had to talk about my oldest brother having ALS 4yrs ago, I started the uncontrollable crying!
Luckily, my SIL was there, and she took over the talking! I ended up drinking my tea with some of the greatest people I have met in this journey!
The cool part was that I was on the 10pm local news! A camera-guy had interviewed me before the dinner started and part of it was on the news.
Don't worry, it won't all go to my head, Hollywood hasn't called, so you guys are stuck with me on this forum!
Keep the faith,
brenda
