I lost a loved one from the disease, and it’s amazing that I never considered how important it is for people like me to advocate for those whose lives are quickly cut short by this terrible disease.

Two years ago I was given a death sentence of three....perhaps, but very doubtful, six months. I'm a single parent with an autistic son. During the short-time that I thought I had, I ran many of my friends, some of my colleagues, and some people I knew just casually through a series of questions and "what if" situations to try and find someone that would be a good fit for my son. It was both eye-opening and agonizing. Initially, I never found a complete complement of those special features that I was looking for in an individual who would guide my son throughout his life. Yet, on a lighter side, there was great humor in many of the "trials". At first, I thought I had beat the odds, but I am still dancing with the cancer. In fact, recently I came to the realization that I have only have limited amount of time left to dance. I was amazed when I read the article in Time Magazine.
