TV Interview

Got a call Monday afternoon from Tracy at the Muscular Dystrophy Association and they .were in a bit of a pinch. They needed someone to go on the local television affiliate and promote the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon. With great trepidation, I said yes - as it is time for me to start stepping up and giving back and helping the MDA raise money for the 15 years of services I've been receiving. Once I hung up, I started stressing out. Then this thought hit me - "I have NOTHING TO WEAR!"!!! I know, I'm such a girl! 2 days of trying on clothes, talking to the MDA and friends and finally an outfit was picked out. Not my favorite, but it would enhance the leg braces and really put the focus on my medical condition and not my clothes. So here's the link if you want to watch it: http://illinoishomepage.net/content/morningshow and then click on the "MDA Telethon" video link. When I finished, the news anchor, Anne Dill, suggested that I do one for the actual Telethon, so I'm back in my closet trying on clothes and trying to find something that will work..........not to mention the amount of stress that's running through my veins again. Ah well, at least the telethon is being held at the Harley Davidson dealership - so I'll be able to drool over some big Hogs up close and personal! It's funny because one side of me is scared spitless, and the other is glad I am able to do something that just might help make a difference - even if it only strikes a chord with 1 person, that's 1 person that might not otherwise have done something. But.......................what AM I GOING TO WEAR??????????
