Evening Army... For tonights $5 Friday:Best of Michael I want to share with you a news report from the spring of 2012, soon after the Wachowskis received Michaels diagnosis of Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD). In the video linked below, you see Michael is an active 2 year old boy... talking, eating and moving like . You can see how his smile lit up a room and the joy he had in the simplest of activities. Two and a half years later, Michael has already lost so many of his abilities. Our fundraiser will give his parents the opportunity to spend as time with him as they can AND give him the best quality of life without the burden of worrying how they will cover his 2015 out of pocket medical expences. Here is a quote from the news article... In as little as a year, 2-year-old Michael will begin to unlearn every milestone he has reached in his short life. Hes going to lose his ability to sit up, crawl, walk, eat, swallow, see, hear and breathe eventually, Katie explained. Katie and Mike live with this awful reality and the reality they must keep working, keep earning money to pay for their sons care as he nears the end of his life.They own Fitness Together in Cobb County, their lives dedicated to improving the health of others. I still have moments of shock and disbelief like, how could this even be happening right now? Katie said.They cannot pack a lifetime into the next few years, so they are trying to stay in the moment with Michael, to fill each day with love that will have to carry them when he is gone. If I think about how Im going to miss him then Ill walk around here sad, and then I wont get to enjoy the time that I do have with him, Katie said. Army, we are just over $17,000 for Michael and are still trying to reach the goal of 1000 contributions. Tonight, if we received just 211 $5 Friday donations we would be at 1000 contributors and over $18,000 towards goal. Whos up for tonights challenge? I am making my $5 donation at the link below... how about you? - Barbara https://fundrazr/campaigns/8tOzb
