Sheila's book is inspirational. It is more than just a book though, as it is something she has wanted to do for a long time. It proves that a person CAN reach their goals despite ALS.

Way to go Sheila!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. I am waiting for the sequel to find out how Deidra (and Sheila) are doing now.

Hi Connie, thank you! The book does have a serious side to it but I sure have had a lot of fun getting out and talking about it.

I went to the post office yesterday and one lady saw me and started a conversation on ALS and then they all wanted to know what ALS is and what it does, took me 20 minutes to mail my letter.

I'll email you about Deidra, better known as Debbie ;)

Lee, thank you for everything...
