Hi friends, my run is Sunday and I'm so nervous! Today I was thinking part of me wishes it would be canceled, I'm so scared! I have been training, lost 13 lbs in 60 days and feel pretty good. Though part of me just can't get past my worries. its weird I feel physically strong right now and no weakness, minimal twitching but my mind still has crazy thoughts. Well I will say this, after Sunday I can guarantee I will be changed! I know an ALS patient can't run even out of the road if a truck was coming, which makes me sad but that's the truth! My twin said to me today, Ashley u are ur self again! Ur wholesome, weird term but she means I'm stronger than I have ever been. I turned to her and said really u think? I almost broke into tears of joy, she said Ashley we lost u, u were not even coheren, u were not even living everyday life, not enjoyable to be around. I was just sick to hear Thats how everyone around me fealt, even though I truly agree! my point is I need to do this Sunday, I will give all my effort going forward to not turn back. It's been the roughest 3 years of my life, I really look forward to the good ones ahead. I don't wish this bfs upon my worste enemy, I pray that someday there will be a cure for Al's and more answers to bfs. Ashley
 
It would be wonderful if somehow some of the folks from this board could have a collective fund raiser in support of a cure for ALS. I have thought about that many times.
 
hope u have a great run ash....and i hope it helps to put all this behind u so u can move on with your life....remember u are a beautiful unique person as is everyone on this board...were just all twitchy unique people...u go girl im cheering for u from australia....xxxxx shanny :p
 
thank u so much u all mean so much to me! I ran the entire run, didn't stop once! 32,000 people ran it was crazy! The most enjoyable best feeling I have ever fealt was when I crossed the finish line! I know I don't have Al's now, 100 percent! I can say I won't worry but I will say I do not have Al's! thanks u all again so much! love,Ashley
 
Congratulations. Just being able to train for such an event clearly demonstrated you don't have any of the three-letter nasties. Actually finishing is that much more impressive.
 
WooHoo! great job Ashley! I am new to these boards and I have to say this post is really uplifting to me. I have been reading posts for months and it gives me a ton of hope to see how far you and others have come!
 
can I just tell u how much more joy this brings to me to know this touched each of u! each and everyone of u can do this! In the beginning of all of this I thought for sure my leg didn't work, guess what 3 years later it does :) all I can say is I feel all u new twitchers trust me from the bottom of my heart, believe me it does get better. thanks again so much all of u! and batman u can do it, btw this is wanderer :)
