@shellyrae37 Shelly, it's good to see you here. I'm so sorry to hear about your son & your brother. Glad you finally beat whatever bug you had. Don is fine -- he's still very active in the EAPG group.
Spent much of today in NYC -- my son was running in the NYC Marathon. He belongs to a group called Achilles International -- they provide support to runners who have physical or mental disabilities. So my son often trains with a runner who is legally blind -- they use tethers so they can help guide him. Today he was part of a team running with an autistic young man -- their main job was to keep him focused. One of my son's friends was running with a member of their group who uses a handcycle -- she was having troubles with her bike & he had to help push her up hills. The group hired buses to get them to Staten Island (they had to be there by 5:30am). My job was to drive my son & his friend back to my son's car.
