A Kennedy Legacy

Yesterday brought sad news about the cause of Senator Ted Kennedy's seizure. Gliomas are horrid tumors. My uncle died within four months of experiencing symptoms of his glioblastoma. I hope the outcome is better for Senator Kennedy. His family has a long history of giving so much for social causes. Senator Kennedy was going to be at a fundraiser for a charity close to his heart, Best Buddies. It is a wonderful organization dedicated to improving the lives of those with intellectual disabilities. It's also close to my heart. My brother Stevie was born with Cerebral Palsy. He is very high functioning, but he has some limitations. He is not limited in love, however. 

Please take a moment to read about Best Buddies at their website: www.kintera.org. Make a donation and remember the good works of Senator Kennedy and his family. 

Peace for today.
