 A while back I introduced you all to Phoenix's amazing friend Heather! When I was struggling with Phoenix's diagnosis and what I could do to make a change, a ROAM mentioned doing a Poker Run for the CF Foundation! This is where the Fighting 4 Phoenix Poker Run got started. It came from the want and the drive to make a change.Heather does so much for others and is the last to complain about anything. She gives to others and worries about herself last.In February of 2009 Heather's world was changed. An active, on the go person received a very devastating diagnosis ALS. (Also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease)So Heather and her husband Travis grabbed life by the horns, and started to live each day to the fullest! The went on long motorcycle rides. They helped do fundraisers for others! But the most important thing is they stayed positive! They continued to fight for their love and for one another.Knowing what would eventually face them ahead they started to plan for what would need to be done, and one of the biggest chores was making the house wheel chair accessible.Let's just say a contractor took it upon themselves to lie and steal from them. Now they are out money and there is no wheel chair ramp built. To make a long story short and not get upset, I'm calling all Heather's Army members!E-mail or Facebook me and I'll give you the details!Click on the motorcycle to visit Heather's blog!
