Hi! Having a great journey. Wish you were here.
At this time last year (October, 2003), I was driving in my car near the beach. It was a beautiful California afternoon and the beach looked inviting as I glanced out the window.
Its beauty made me feel that I was glad to be alive. I was half listening to a talk radio broadcast about a 40-year-old woman in Florida, Terri Schiavo, who was going to be starved to death. This woman had been disconnected from her feeding tube. She was without food for eight days.
Suddenly the broadcasters had my full attention. When I was paralyzed, I, too, had a feeding tube disconnected for eight days and I knew what that felt like.

Help support a friend
Cindy Flynn will be running 13.1 miles in sunny Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 9, 2005, to raise funds for
"Train to End Stroke." After surviving four strokes, she is training every day to prepare for
her second Train to End Stroke event. Please, pledge your support to help Cindy reach her goal
of raising $3,900. With your help, we can make it!
Kate and Cindy will be meeting for the first time in mid-October when Cindy visits from Pennsylvania. The two have so much in common, both having had strokes.
