One thing about conquering the canyon: before you see it, it seems ok, reasonable, even possible. The moment you see THE GRAND CANYON, you think WTF and how does this 'conquer' business really work and where was my head when I was laughing and taking bribes? On day one, we meet the guides (Gene and Jo Ann Taylor), who discuss various trails, share their experiences and answer…

You probably don’t remember me, but I am an old friend of your dad. We used to work a lot together and always had fun at it. I enjoy your dad because he is full of surprises and never shy about speaking his mind. I bet you are like that, too.
You and I met a few years ago, camping at Two Medicine Lake at Glacier National Park. You probably don’t…

The Senate and House are moving closer to taking action on critical legislation focused on the Food and Drug Administration called PDUFA. Every five years Congress must pass a package of policies, known as user fees, that dictate the terms for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology and related industries to help fund the FDA and its review of candidate therapies. The bills…

We all have special passions and causes that are important to us and that we support. Well, this summer, my family embraced a new cause which has had a tremendous impact on both my heart and my life. My great nephew Jonathan (3 years old) was diagnosed with Duchenne…

I would like to introduce myself and briefly share my intention and vision regarding this venture. Recently I have noticed an inner rumbling to "get away," and given that my love of the outdoors felt undernourished over the past 20 years, I figured that I would head out West this summer on a backpacking trip for a week or so to help clear the traffic jam in my head. Among other…

How many times have you explained something that happened, but in the retelling, the moment lost its punch?
I’m a fan of technology. Really. I love it that we are able to participate in meetings and conferences in real time, from anywhere in the world. It encourages, incentivizes, stimulates conversation on community and social networking sites. In…

Doug might be moving into a block funded house with three other people requiring high level support. They offered it to him finally last October and at the time there was space for 2 verbal people, including himself. This is "cripple nirvana" according to Doug, the kind of house one can only dream of right in the cultural centre of town, next door to one place he volunteers. But there was always a problem, nobody to wake up to him at night. They want him to trial this house, since I shook up…

Sometimes the best way to tell your story is through pictures. We can feel what another feels by seeing things the way they see them. Francis Desmond is an 8th grader who likes to draw. He also has Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Francis and his dad, Steven Desmond, decided to turn their journey into art and have just their father/son illustrated project, A…

Everyone is in a race against the clock these days. Nowhere is that more the case though, than in this community. Dealing with Duchenne, on top of everything else life throws at you, can leave you feeling overwhelmed, inadequate, and exhausted. In their monthly co-blog, PPMD President Pat Furlong and Colorado FACES coordinator, Ivy Scherbarth discuss the ways we cope with this ticking clock while keeping our families happy, our son’s healthy, and our sanity in check. Read this month’s…
