Johnny has ALS. He is Being Forced to Move

 
 This is Johnny my father in-law. He was diagnosed with ALS Feb 2015. Johnny and my mother in-law (Angel) have lived in the same house for 28 years. The owners of the residence have just recently gave my in laws a 60 day notice to move because the house is being sold. In these next 60 days they still have to pay rent here and find a new residence. They are on Social Security. (Limited income). We have exhausted all avenues. A friend had suggested that we should make a Go Fund me account. 

Here's a little bit about my father inlaw. He is one of the most loving caring people I know. He always does for other people out of the kindness of his heart. (family,friends, strangers). We are asking for help with 1st months rent deposit and moving truck... moving expenses

Get Up, Dress Up, Show Up and Never Give Up




I have heard Dagmar Munn talk about getting up, dressing up, and showing up. Many times we read something or watch a video but we don't take action. We don't think it fits us or we just don't bother. After all we have ALS or our friend or loved one does. Why bother and just give up hope. NOT! Today be creative in taking action and share it with us.
Maybe it's sitting up, having a bow put in your hair. If your a guy how about getting a shave and a clean pair of socks. Have someone open the window. If you can be mobile have your caregiver/family/friend exercise your legs or get out for a walk.  Caregiver, family or friend...dress a bit nicer today. put on a smile,  take time to eat breakfast or lunch today.
Share with us will you all please!

Who are the Sid James Experience? We catch their manager, Lord Lee Bragg at work….

Tonight we catch Lord Lee Bragg, exclusive agent to the Sid James Experience, organising the June 4th MNDA fundraiser. We are also reminded of the sound that has taken the Sid James Experience in the last 20 years all the way from central Farnham to the hard shoulder of the A31.
