paying respect - a photo on Flickriver

paying respect

The Kiss Goodbye to Multiple Sclerosis campaign closes out on the theme - MS Awareness. I have been humbled by this experience and the ways in which I have been supported to raise awareness about this disease.

With my deepest gratitude, I pay my respects to:

each of you that has followed this campaign - your words of encouragement, sharing your deeply personal stories and the way in which you have supported my pledge through your views, comments and faves. With one day of viewing left, my pledge is $759.60. I will announce the final result tomorrow at the end of the international day for 31 May 2013.

each of you that helped to raise awareness through the pledge to kiss goodbye group. So many beautiful pictures, so much creativity! Based on a count yesterday afternoon, the 382 photos there have received over 44 thousand views. Can we make it 400 photos by the end of the day? In some countries around the world, the group even appeared on the front page of yahoo. Raising awareness can be done through small individual actions - if there was ever a reason to believe that change can be made though the collective power of an individual's small action then this is one example.

to those of you who extended your generosity by making a donation to my fund raising page. Thank you does not cover my appreciation enough.

to Marty and M8 who are my pillars of support in sickness and in health.

and finally I pay my respects to my disease that has taught me so much about life. Multiple sclerosis has given me such an awareness about what is important for this day, and in this moment - and for those reasons, I consider myself truly blessed.
