OT; TO ALL..IMPORTANT NOTE.. Jim Lurgio willing gave the green light for me to post this very personal note.
Hello All, Jim Lurgio willing gave me the green light to post this very personal note. This is Alley from IDCC...I used to frequently post THE MARKET + IDCC TA on the this forum . For those of you who thought I left IDCC ...quite to the contrary...I am happily up to my eyeballs in IDCC... AND LOVE IT MORE THEN EVER. I think Marsala agrees.
MY NOTE.. Life's circumstances sometimes have a way of making us re think our daily activities and priorities. It is for this reason I have not been posting. Any of you who have faced a challenging life altering event will understand and appreciate what I am about to disclose. For others...it's a thinker . As a rule I have not made a habit of sharing my personal life outside of a close circle of friends and family, but as I said before life’s circumstances sometimes cause us to re think our behavior. I have been preoccupied in the last 18 months , trying to make a difference in the lives of others. You'll understand what I mean as you read on...This is not a religious appeal or an attempt to convert you… . oh yes it is also not an AMWAY appeal..lol I am selling nothing. I have chosen to write to this forum as there are many of you who I appreciate and admire. I consider many of you my IDCC friends. I have found many of you to be thoughtful and caring. bunch Although from time to time you do get a bit spirited on a tough day in the market …lol.
I send this to you from heart.
PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO READ THIS. . . IT TOOK ME A LIFETIME TO WRITE.
As you read my story...I ask you to put yourself in my shoes.
We all make promises... I made a promise to God and myself last year when my daughter Kristy told me she was pregnant with her first child. Kristy is a carrier of the gene that causes Muscular Dystrophy. This deadly disease causes all of the muscles in the body to completely waste away. The disease is generally transmitted genetically only to males. John and Kristy learned early in the pregnancy that they were going to have a boy and that there was a real possibility that he could be born with Muscular Dystrophy. With a great deal of thought and loving faith they bravely chose to put their child's fate in Gods hands.
At that moment I made a promise to help the Muscular Dystrophy Association find the cure.
Liam Alan Arthur [my first grandson] was born a few short months ago...He is a joyful little boy full of life, hope and giggles. For several long months we have anxiously awaited the results of hundreds of very complicated and complex DNA studies that hold the key to our little boy’s future.
It took 18 years of my life before I learned that the continuous muscle deterioration that I had been experiencing since early childhood was due to Muscular Dystrophy. The critical DNA studies now available that are needed for an exacting diagnosis did not exist for me as a child. Today they exist thanks to the pioneering efforts of the MDA research and development teams. . BUT NOW WE NEED A CURE.
That day, 34 years ago when the doctor gave me his diagnosis he told me that he expected that I had only months rather then years to live. At 56 I am one of a few of Jerry Lewis's kids that is still alive to tell his story. I consider this my miracle. While this disease has left me confined to a wheelchair with little or no control over the muscles in my body it has never conquered my mind, soul, faith or spirit. It is with a deep faith that I believe that part of my purpose in being at this moment ..is to pursue this cause.
IMPORTANT MIRACULOUS NEWS.. . Today little Liams test results have arrived. Of all life's challenges and heartaches, Liam, thank God, will not be battling this one. In truth, this is a miracle. MD will not be his fate. But the fight goes on.
--------------------------------------WE NEED A CURE NOW------- No child should ever have to face a shortened life plagued with the debilitating loss of every muscle in their body.
My family, neighbors, friends and their friends have created a team of supporters called ------------------ The Muscular Miracle Makers --------------------[/b On April 29 th our teammembers are all walking to raise funds to find a cure at the annual Muscular Dystrophy Associations STRIDE & RIDE event.

These kids capture a moment of hope at this event while fighting for their lives. ---------------------HELP ME FIND A CURE--------------------- so that no child will ever have to ride a wheelchair to raise funds to save their life. ---------------------------TAKE JUST A MOMENT TO--------------- To help make a difference….
