About Me

I am in my mid 40s, kids are pretty much grown. I now have 3 Awsome Grandchildren. I have been blessed with 2 wonderful Grandsons and now a BEAUTIFUL Grandaughter.
There is so much in life to be thankful for. It seems that I have spent so much time thinking about heartake, losses and things I don't have to really take a look at what I do have. I have 4 great kids, 3 grandchildren, a cute little stepgrandson, a wonderful Mother, 4 great brothers, 2 beautiful sisters, nepiews, nieces, fun job, friends accross the country - all of which I am very greatful for!!
MY SON JOSHUA HAS JUST COMPLETED HIGH SCHOOL!! They are all out of high school now. I am a proud Daddy or Poppa!!
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is kicking off our annual MS Challenge Walk. I am planning to be a part of that event and I am asking you to join me in the fight against MS by making a contribution to support my effort.
The National MS Society is dedicated to ending the devastating effects of MS. They simultaneously fund research for a cure while also helping people who currently live with MS lead more fulfilling lives. I believe in the work they do, and I invite you to see for yourself all the good they've done for the MS community. More than 400,000 Americans live with MS, and your support can and will make changes in their lives.
Please help by making a donation - large or small - to fight MS. Or, why not join me on the day of the event? Become a participant and side by side, as teammates, we can work together to raise the funds to make a difference.
Whatever you can give will help! I greatly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.
To send a donation: Make all checks payable to: National MS Society Mail to:
James Leaming
P.O.Box 600
Sturbridge, MA 01566-0600
or simply go to my MS Page

and donate over the secure form. I am looking forward to my walk. I did it in 2004. There is no better feeling than crossing that finnish line knowing that you are making a difference and to meet so many people with MS.
All throughout the walk every few miles there are refreshment stands set up and the people working them treat you like royalty thanking you for each step you make and cheering you on. Last time I walked, I raised $1,980.00. This year I want to blow that figure out of the water.
Sincerely,
James Leaming

Remembering Joannie

It is now 7 months since she passed. It's still so hard to believe that she's gone. She had more life in her than 10 people. Joannie was the kind of person that you really needed to get to know to app...
