All about me! And, more importantly, spreading some awareness! :)

I love your attitude! Have a great run. I try to live my life with MG the same way. I still surf as much as I can and I am currently on the couch recovering from too much tap dancing.

Thanks! :)

And thank you for the laugh this morning, even if you didn't mean it. I read too fast and thought you said "lap dancing" at first. Haha :)

Kudos! I am so glad you are still able to run. I am also glad you had the courage to share this with the world and spread awareness about MG!

I know it is MG awareness month. I feel like I should come clean with the people in my division at work and let them know I have MG and what it is. But I am too afraid of what repercussion it might have for me. I still have a daughter to get through college and don't feel I can financially take the risk.

It's a very personal choice to tell people, and I fully understand why some people choose not to. Ever since I came out as gay a decade ago (wow, has it been that long?!), I also came to the realization that I'm not going to hide myself any longer. It's all just a small piece of who I am, including MG (as much as it wants to dominate, sometimes). And my feelings evolved to the point where I realized, if you don't like me for that one small piece of who I am, then I'm better off without you in my life anyways. It certainly helps that I have a supportive job, co-workers and boss on the work front, and a supportive base of friends and family, otherwise. And because of that openness I have towards my life. I couldn't help but jump at the opportunity to do this article and help spread some of that awareness that MG needs so badly. In fact, I shared it across several other groups and venues I'm in, MG, running, and others, and the feedback I've received has been astounding.

Thanks so much for sharing your article Adam. It is very inspiring.

Thanks for sharing.... I love your attitude. Trying so hard to have it myself...fake it as long as I can !!! I have found that swimming in the ocean is the best and easiest for me!!! So, you may have to move to the beach! Thanks for sharing!!!! Appreciate your positive spirit!

Can I post the link to this on MG Facebook pg? Just wanted your permission.....

It's already on several MG Facebook pages, and I know Adam is happy to have it shared!

Just saw this. Yes please, share anywhere and everywhere. The more awareness I can help spread through this article, the better! :)
