The week ahead

This is going to be a busy week.

I hope that the name Making-Smiles is a suitable name for the type of charity I want to start. Please let me know what you think.

There are lots of people who develop MS each in a different way. Some have one attack and then experience remission lasting years and others who have to deal with various degrees of the disease everyday . Getting medication, support and learning how to cope with attacks is very important and hopefully Making-Smiles will be able to help in the future, if only in a small way.

Today I am seeing Katie and Kerry the wonderful girls that run Kinney and Kinsella, a brilliant PR and Media firm in the heart of New York. These two beautiful people have agreed to help with my charity. Getting the message out the right way is very important, and K & K are the best at that.

Heat, I used to love heat but now I loathe it, it makes my symptoms worse. I have found that instant ice packs placed on the back of the neck a god send. The silly thing is I have to take a hot shower in the morning before I inject my medication, this is a daily ritual I am just getting the hang of. I have stopped asking my lovely wife to do the jab, as she is more asleep in the morning than I am and it hurts enough as it is.

Water, is now my best friend. Lots and lots of water. Buckets of the stuff.
As well as the odd beer. I never thought about keeping hydrated before but now it's a must.

Have a look at chumsweb.org , brilliant.
