Diane's Miracle

Trends of Fashion on Main Street in Antrim is having a Cut-A-Thon this Sunday, May 22 to support Diane’s Miracle and two other causes.  From their Facebook page:

Cut-A-Thon Sunday May 22, 12-6pm We need your support to help these families. We still have lots of openings, not just limited to cuts. We are also offering shampoo and style, 15min chair massage, mini manicure, and paraffin dip. Please call and reserve your appointment time. Thanks for showing you care:)))

Thanks to Trends of Fashion…and to everyone else who has been helping Diane’s Miracle.

They still have appointments available…but you’ll need to call ahead: 603-588-2354.

We just added a gallery to our Diane’s Miracle 5K Walk-Run page. If you click on the links in this article (or the 5K Walk-Run’s menu entry above) you can check out both the starting and ending line photographs…

Enjoy!

Thanks to the Villager for their article about our 5K Walk-Run. If the article below isn’t large enough to read, please click on the image to get the full-sized verion from their server. If you are interested in more information about the event, please visit our 5K Walk-Run page. (If you do not see the image below, or even a spot for it, please click on the “[...]” to see the full article including the image.) [...]

The Monadnock Ledger-Transcript wrote again about Diane and the positives she and her family have seen from her surgery. Thanks to that paper and journalist Robert Michaelson for helping get the word out that there is hope for those with multiple sclerosis (or otherwise shut-in).

You can read the article here:

“Healing moments”

Sorry for the delay…but we just updated our 5K Walk-Run page with the results (and some pictures). Congratulations to Chris Reilly for being the first to cross the line on a somewhat blustery mid-April day…and thanks to everyone who walked, ran, volunteered, or played some great music.

Please be sure to read more about it…

(By either clicking on the links in this article or the “5K Walk-Run” menu entry near the top of the page.)

In the most recent Villager newspaper there is a lengthy article about Diane, her surgery, and her progress called “Making Strides.” If you don’t see the two pages from the article below, please click on the [...] after this small beginning blurb and it will bring up images from the paper’s on-line service.

Many thanks to the Villager for taking the time to make area residents aware of how much the community has come together to help Diane and others who have limited mobility! [...]

We’ve extended the registration time for the 5K Walk-Run on April 16, 2011 until race time…

Please click on the menu link for the Walk-Run at the top to read more…and please come join us!

First, thanks to everyone who has helped us raise over $15,000 toward our new goal of $25,000. We couldn’t have done it without you whether it was your donations, word-of-mouth, or prayers!

I’m sure many of you are interested in hearing how Diane is doing. The short version is:

Great!

The longer version:

The most consistent improvement is energy—Diane has more of that than she has had in a very long time.  At this rate she’ll have more than her husband Rick in no time.

Additionally, she’s been able to move her right fingers some, gets flashes of feeling and the ability to move muscles here-and-there (where she couldn’t before), and continues to feel warmth in her hands and feet (something that she had missed).

These early indicators make us look forward to the future. Because her MS condition was so far along, the doctor said the improvements would take a while, so we are very excited at so much happening so quickly.

Thanks for being a part of Diane’s Miracle!
