In honor of yall ...Thank you

Question

I haven't posted in awhile but I wanted to let yall know that I will be running the Austin half marathon tomorrow. This was my goal before all my neurological problems that started back in June.  I 'm starting to feel better finally I still have some of my symptoms but such is life. This has a been a goal for me for many years and even though my family members don't want me to run I'm going through with it I really feel like this is my chance. ( plus I have trained for it)  I'm dedicating my run to this group, yall have been so supportive, I'm running for all those who suffer daily from neurological problems, I'm running for all those who have cried many tears in frustration, I'm running for all those who suffer in silence, I'm running for all those who have had horrible doctors who have blown them off, I'm running  for all the happy times and I'm running for all those who sit in limbo like myself.  I will run in honor tomorrow for everyone who lives with auto diseases. Wish me luck ....Yall have been my inspiration to follow through with one of my dreams...
