Thank you all for your good wishes.
Tracie - Happy belated birthday to you! Parties are great no matter how late. Put the marathon event on your calendar for next year. By then you'll be feeling better than ever. It's taken me 18 months to get my energy levels to this point - you just have to give your body the time to recover. I have too many medical bills yet to be paid, so can't afford to help the cause with a cash donation myself, but thanks to Stanford, I have my health and I can walk. I think that if each of us does what we can, even if it's just a small thing, all added together it will have a big positive effect in the efforts being made to beat this lousy disease. It so wrenches my heart every time I read of another soul fighting for his/her life.
Marc - Thank you, I'm working at it. I'm on a six days on one day off training schedule. I just hope my knees hold out. I've scheduled a few sessions with a personal trainer - those crunches are torture!
Mar - Thank you, thank you, thank you! You'll be my "spirit walker". I like the sound of that; it's both mystical and lovely. I do need sponsors - you will be my very first! I have yet to write and mail out a compelling request for sponsorship letter. In it I'll ask that folks write their check to Stanford University and in the memo line write For Moyamoya Research - Dr. Gary Steinberg, then mail them to me:
Kimberly Tiller PO Box 1473 Langley, WA 98260
I'll forward all of them to Deborah Stinchfield, the Associate Director of Development at Stanford. She's kindly offered to send each a personal thank you note along with the tax receipt from the university.
