Title: Walking for Charity
Post by: tony on August 26, 2008, 11:30:27 am
I came across this young lady a while back - a USA Teacher
cancer at 15, now 30 and NF2, and completely deaf (AN x many), with balance issues etc etc
Down and out ?, taking it easy ?, waiting for the world to end ?
Not a word of it - She plans to hike (NF2 balance and all), 30 miles in the one day...
Its a charity walk, for support for other NF2ers
Check out the website http://www.firstgiving.com/myquest4nf
I think she may well be "completely zarking" (its a UK term)
 - but I also think someone like that should be supported
I will arrange to get sponsership across the water somehow
I know times are tough in the big country (as they are here)
but tell your kith and kin - even a small contribution helps
..... ps ...she has a neuro OP in two weeks......
....pps ....I dont think "zarking" quite covers it...
...ppps ...make em tough, stateside dont they .....
Best Regards
Tony

Tony,

thanks for sharing this with us...  a terrific goal she is trying to achieve. I commend her for doing this in honor of NF2 patients!
