Well,
Thanks so much for the response. We will be on the air, Thursday April 17th @ 7:30 am. This is in Houston. This is a sad, but funny story, I have noticed that the ALS foundation and the MDA Do NOT work together, This morning I had to call the MDA to let them know that I will be going on the air and will be speaking of them, They have sooooo many do's and dont's to the organization, and I didn't want to speak of something they would not like, Well when I had mentioned that the ALS foundation was having a booth at the benefit, They were well we don't work together with them.....................WHAT the hell is that about , I proceeded to tell them that this is alot of the problem, Two organizations working for the same cause but do not work hand in hand, I have noticed this in the past, but never said anything, this disease has just BEAT me up, low and behold they call me back in a few hours and another news station wants to interview Freddie. It seems like a competition to me, What about the goal we are working TOGETHER for, they sure could use alot from yall here! Well that is what made me decided to get up off of my pity pot, and DO something, There is really no awareness of this disease and I have decided that my foundation is just for that, I remember when this first happened, My Pals was signed to SONY records,, we were on our WAY, we lived in a huge home in a well to do neighborhood, on top of the world..Then little by little we started losing things, home, cars and most of all the ability to work! I couldn't work due to the needs of my husband. I have went from having it all to doing all kinds of things to keep a roof over my head, dealt with all kinds of weirdos, in the home health profession, But the trick to this is not to let this disease take control of YOU but YOU take control of it,,,For those not religious, You better get a higher power QUICK! I finally got it, My husband will live forever through me and my help to those that get "the rug pulled out from them" I am lucky in that my husband was somewhat nationally known, BUT what about the average JOES.....So I will be mentioning this forum in my awareness and in my cry to the "media" and those who know me have often wondered what happened to the Annette that never took crap and took her hubby to the SONY door and kicked it in...Well I am BACK! I will remember every story here that has touched my heart and that has made me think about this crappy disease...I will fight for ALL the pals and cals....
Freddie has a web site.....
www.freddieeverett.com If you have time check it out, he is also on You Tube.....I will miss him but GOD is just not quite done yet!
Keep the Faith!
God Bless all my cyber friends~~
