Change the World! Come Stroll With a Mutt.
7 years ago
As you may know, I was diagnosed with ALS back in March.
ALS is a disease which makes the motor neurons quit working.
Muscles get weak and then stop responding.
Things like walking, talking, eating and breathing soon become impossible.
There is no treatment, no cure, and no hope...unless you help!
There's an ALS walk taking place on November 10th, and I'd be honored if you could attend.
The walk takes place in Irvine, California, so I understand if geography keeps you away.
But, if you're local or localish, and want to help change the course of this stoopid disease, come on along.
Plus, it'll be a great chance to do some public fursuiting!
I have coordinated with the event organizers, and costumes are welcome and encouraged.
It's a short 1 mile walk, and you can stroll half of that if that's too much for your paws.
I'm not asking for anyone to fundraise or contribute $, rather, I'd just like to see you all there
for moral support. Maximum fuzz, plz!
The doctor said I'd be in a wheelchair by June, but I'm still walking, and I plan to do this thing under my own power.
My no-quit attitude exists mainly due to the support I get from y'all, and I can't thank you enough.

We're gunna have a great walk, and, once again, with your help, ALS can kiss my fuzzy butt!

In any case, I will donate for your sake.
I am still waiting for the news that you can show that this is not the total fatal disease that they think it is. Hang in there and never give in!
Still trying to get together a trip out to California soon, keep you posted.
I hope you get to fly west soon!
I'll put this on the "make it happen" list. I find myself unemployed as of 2 weeks ago, which means I may need to choose what's right for me and mine over meeting you ... and, I'll make an effort. Let me check in with you in a month, if that's okay? I'll have a better understanding of what my "next thing" will be, then.
i wish you great success in your job search and I hope a fantastic door opens for you!
Commenting on their last journal is more permanent.
We've never met but I felt like losing a friend of a millennia.
Thank you for being you dogbomb.
We couldn't possibly ask for more as you given your all.
We'll carry on and do more to show your good example of life.
Your memory will live on.
Thank you.
You were the best of us. The strongest, bravest, most kind soul I have heard of. You left me with a lasting impact that will carry through with the rest of my life, and the lives of so many friends of mine. I promise to live by your last wishes, to wag, to spread awareness of ALS and to simple do good, be kind, and *live*
I say this, to you, knowing I am yelling my voice into nothingness, silence being the only reply I will ever be afforded. But you know what? It matters not, because it's you, tony barret, inside my heart that matters. And I will carry you, your memory, and everything you were along with me for the rest of my own wild ride.
And I'll wag. I'll wag for you, dogbomb. I love you.
We loved you, big guy. I don't think the world will be quite the same without you.
I didn't know you, but I still miss you.
