Last year on Sept. 21 Maiko (the Maltese/ShihTzu - who then was 11 years old) and I joined the Walk to Defeat ALS at Eisenhower Park in NYC. Admittedly, we straggled in close to the end but we passed the finish line. Most importantly we raised over $1700. The Walk, of course, raised thousands more. This year The Walk falls on the same date and Maiko and I and husband plan to be there, we may cheat a little and idle around more than walk which we will blame entirely on Maiko's age. A few of you may recall that I am technologically challenged, so when I give you the following information it may be deeply screwed up. If you want to know about the walk, or ALS or my personal story here are a couple of options: you can go to the ALS Association's site, Greater New York Chapter, and noodle around until you find a place where you can type in my name (Paula Penn), or you can type in NowTeam. Or you can use the computer address I was assigned (I am crossing my fingers and spitting three times before giving it... here goes: http://web/alsa.org/gotoNowTeam2019. If any gentle Chi reader has the patience and inclination to adjust these cyber directions to something more effective, I would welcome your help.
While I'm here, there's something I've been meaning to say for a long time. That is how much I appreciate the entire community. Alan, people thank you so often for your fair-minded genius. I hope you and the players also know that this game and the people playing supply support, entertainment and distraction for many who may be a bit stymied by some limitation (probably a totally socially incorrect term because some limitations open additional pathways).
Best to all,
Lily's field/Paula/Justme
