All, unfortunately, I have spent most of the last ten months in bed, sick as a dog, three rounds of chemo, but I amcan doing better - starting to really come back to live...unfortunately, like waking from a bad dream into a nightmare. I can't really send donations of anything like that right now - haven' really been able to work. But I would be happy to be there for anyone who just wants someone to talk to. I do understand just how hard it is to keep going, keep that stupid smile and keep fighting, so if you need someone to talk to, I can help. I wish I could do more, but I cant right now.

Peace & Blue Skies.

Three months ago today my family was told I might not survive. Three months ago tomorrow, it was the day my family was told I likely wouldn't walk again (paralyzed in one leg).
Thanks to the help of skydivers here, and on dropzone.com, plus one or two local friends, the drive and motivation to succeed were there. I fully expect to be flying again in 45 days.
I'm grateful to my skydiving family for being there, and really learned who my friends are and aren't during this experience.

I really appreciate all of the help and imagination Rachel has given to me and the group I am running for - Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America. Any size donation will help one and a half million (or more) Americans suffering from this disease. Most of you know at least one person who has it right now and doesn't talk about it! Please help in whatever way you can and spread the word...Thanks so much. Debbie Kelly
