SILENT AUCTIONS AND LONG DISTANCE RUNNING

its been a while since i have typed anything constructive...or so it feels. i have been working with a dear friend on my fund raising efforts...its taking its toll on my brain power ( i have only made one flyer...) and i feel so tired its like i cant recoup any energy...im sluggish...anyhow...

THIS WEEKEND...CHARMAINE BOUGHTON WILL RUN 87KM AROUND LAKE MUSKOKA...to raise funds for me to go to NY to have my veins scanned for CCSVI and then have the liberation treatment performed. this is a huge thing to undertake and all my love and blue sky thoughts are with her as she runs !!! please donate TODAY!!

we are having a fund raiser/BBQ on June 26, 2010 from 5pm to 10pm @ Harmony Hall in Oshawa...there will be a silent auction with all sorts of cool stuff from "american eagle" "roots"and others, there will be a 50/50 draw...food cooked on a bbq, penny drive and face painting (for the kids or silly adults like my wife), coin toss (for a big bottle o' booze), it will be a licensed event so there will be beer AND pop to go with the food cooked on the bbq...i am hoping to have the mayor of oshawa and my mp Colin Carrie to come by...EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO SWING BY!!

would you fight if it were you in my shoes?

so with 7 weeks to go and a TONNE of money to raise/beg/borrow/steal i am officially STRESSED OUT!!! i have been reading and viewing testimonials from MS'rs who have had the liberation procedure done and i am very encouraged by the results. it looks like the effects go beyond what people had expected...and as time goes on the healing continue's and improvements are recognize regularly. this is exciting for me to witness... especially with my turn coming at a rapid pace.

speaking about the rapid pace at which my date is approaching...i must EMPHASIZE the need for help with money. jen and i need help with fund raising...now i know i have a bunch of musician friends that i have been in bands with and who were all very talented (more than me anyway) and maybe this is my direct plea to you guys...can we do some sort of benefit concert with the musicians from both bands? i know you guys know who you are and maybe im being presumptuous about your help but I REALLY NEED IT.

there is coming a time when my health will be returned to me and i will be able to start helping others with their own fight...i am looking forward to taking on our government in the struggle to bring CCSVI in to the mainstream and ridding our country of MS. it really makes no sense why they are keeping us from a cure...everyone wants to find a cure until its found and it not what they were hoping for, which seems to be the case with CCSVI. I ALSO DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THE PUBLIC CAN BE HAPPY WITH SPENDING $139 MILLION A YEAR (HALF OF WHICH IS SPENT ON DRUGS THAT ARE PROVEN TO DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING) ON A DISEASE THAT COULD BE CURED FOR $124 MILLION...that free's up $139 million that could be spent on something else...like children living in poverty in Canada. our government is full of mentally deranged individuals dont you think? HOW GREAT IS OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM? EVERYONE KNOCKS THE AMERICANS FOR THEIR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM...funny that THEY  are the ones fixing me while canada and its SUPERIOR healthcare sit on their asses and let me go else where to spend money INSTEAD of keeping it here.

may 26, 2010 is world MS day...i ask you join the following group http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/group.php?gid=126466010700967 and help us in our email blitz of the canadian MP's...lets show them who they work for!!!

EMERGENCY!! I AM RUNNING OUT OF TIME!!

well...i have good news!!! in 3-4 weeks i have a scheduled appointment for my liberation from MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (2 1/2 months sooner than i planned on)!!!!

well... i have BAD news. in 3-4 weeks i need to find, raise, beg, borrow (too slow to steal), $10000 or this is a no go.

i am beside myself, it was hard enough for me to ask for help but now i need to be expedient...but im one guy and im at a total loss. i have never done fund raising nor do i think i have the capability to do much. if anyone is a whip with getting stuff like this done...I NEED YOUR HELP! i will put in the time but im clueless as to what to actually do. i am feeling overwhelmed by this and it kinda krippling my functionality (stress is evil to me)...please some one give me a hand?

oh yeah...if you can help with some sort of donation in the monetary sense....that helps too!

anyone interested in giving me a hand? i can be reached at krippleone@yahoo.com or text me @ 905 926 5947

TIME IS VERY SHORT...PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!

thanks for taking the time to read my begging.

Steve

**UPDATE**

THE DATE FOR MY SCAN/OPERATION IS JULY 14 2010 8:00 AM!!

if i MOOOO, am i really a cow?

today is the day of the ccsvi rallies across canada...i had arranged 2 rides downtown...i figured a primary ride and a back up should get me where i need to go. WRONG!!! my back up ride sent me as text last night saying she feels under the weaher and some other stuff and thats cool cause i refuse to put people out or force them to do things. my main ride i havent heard from which probably means i wont see him either. that leaves me 2 choices....1) stay my ass at home  or  2) drive jen to work then come home, get ready and drive my own hump to the rally. jen is telling me she only likes option #1 and that im scary to drive with and cant do anything without help (like unloading/loading the wheel chair from the van). so here on the big day i am taking the hard road downtown and doing this alone.

as i sit here proud of my independence i am starting to wonder about what happens (not if but) when i have to go pee...i have a bottle to use but...you know...i will be outside in font of people...i know i know like that will bother me and it wouldnt if i had jen with me but i wont so ya im a bit sketchy...and what if its raining? does it still happen? its raining as i type but it says sunny till this evening...REGARDLESS of what happens i will be filming the days events and i shall report back to you soon,

btw...the "college for physicians and surgeons" has killed most ccsvi testing in canada, for no good reason. and im on the waiting list in poland for the "liberation treatment" but its booked till 2012 so in a year and a half i can get fixed. thank you so much canada its nice to know you have my back. talk soon peeps!!! wish my krippled ass luck...I AM GOING TO NEED IT!.... MOOOOOOO! i know im not a cow but i needed a catchy title so i HAD to throw this in.
