I haven't posted here in a long time except the occasional reply. I do love this place and thank all the folks who envisioned it and work to keep it going

A lot of you made me laugh some of my best laughs and some of your losses impacted me more than you know

This summer 40 years into battling AS at the age of 56 I had my toughest challenge. I was in a car accident and fractured C7. Broken neck are the last words and person with AS wants to hear. It is 4 months since my crash and miraculously I back to my old self. My artificial hips survived the crash without damage. I'm a little more bent but amazingly kickin'AS as goid as ever

This disease can never take away my fight or my joy. My girls are now almost 17 and looking at college. I am one very lucky ASkicker and lots of support for nearly 20 years from this place has kept me going

Thank you
