ALS Can Kiss My Butt

[SailorChlud]

Wow, what a tough break. The posts and photos of you enjoying your Seafari were very inspirational to me as I worked to bring my own Seafari back from the dead. Tony, thanks for your help and encouragement along the way. Run the snot out of that machine this summer, and make a lot of good memories, to tide you over for the work you have to do ahead. Best wishes for your road ahead.....

And the same to Gilly too, if he is lurking on here in between treatments.

Keep your faith and positive attitude.
Heath issues also caused the dreaded day I saw my SeaCaft head down the highway behind a new owners truck after 33 years of ownership.
Our prayers will also accompany your fight.

I remember as a kid The book The Wind in the willows and there is a very good quote that seems pretty apropos: "Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." Go mess around in your boat.

Sorry to hear that. Attitude means a lot. Praying for you.

Keep a strong attitude and run the snot outta that boat. We'll keep praying!

You can bet I am donating.

Thank you so much! The kind words and support mean a lot, trust me!

I wanted to thank everyone for the responses and notes and general support.
This is a great group of folks and y'all should be very proud of yourselves.

I'll keep fighting and I'll have that yeller boat back in the water ASAP!

Tony,
I'm so very sorry to hear this news. I was just thinking about you a few days back as I knew you were a runner and wasn't sure if you were in Boston for the marathon.Im at a loss for words and I'm not sure if the power of prayer can change things but consider it done,and Donation made as well.
I wish you all the best. We never met in person but I feel like I've known you for years after the time we spent as buyer and seller of that Yellow Seafari that you did such a remarkably beautiful job in making it look new again.
I'll be checking in on you every so often to see how you're doing if you don't mind. And as others wrote a positive attitude can help in many ways. I wish you the best and if nothing else I'm only a call or email away even if nothing other than a chat.
Take care and get out on that boat.

Tony-
So sorry. But please remember through prayer miracles can happen. I have seen that in the lives of some of my fellow church members. You will be in my prayers. I recall some of the exchanges we have made about our yellow
Seafaris. Best wishes for calm waters and recovery.
BTW i was a Corvette owner for 35 years with the last one a 1968, yellow of course!

Tony - I saw this yesterday. There is an incredible amount of money and energy going into research for a cure.
