Hi Gang! 
It's been more than a week so thought you may be wondering about Brian.
He is such a great guy. He's just hangin' in there although it is obvious that the disease is progressing as is expected. I just don't see how he does it. He still has his sense of humor, still has that impish grin and still says "thank you".
Here is the scoop on where we all stand if you guys still would like to do something to promote support for ALS research in honor of Brian during the month of May. Friends, this is a win-win situation and opportunit for everyone involved. I was nformed that MAY IS ALS AWARENESS MONTH NATIONALLY!! Do you believe the coincidence? Or is it a coicidence?
Brian, after discussing your idea of a small decal on the cars and/or team helmets indicating "ALS Research in honor of Brian", with his parents and with a representative of our local ALS Association has decided that if you all would lke to do this he s more than willing....and is deeply honored and appreciative.
So we have several teams/drivers who have agreed to do this. Brian will most certainly ot be with us by May but we will not forget him and the way he has touched our lives...by displaying true courage and maintaining such dignity.
After meeting with him today here is what we need to do although I need some of you to act as a resource and help direct things.
I have the name and e-mail address of Brian's ALS representative here in Indy. We need to get her connected with someone within the racing organization to get things started and decide what is the best way to go with this. That most certainly is not my field!
So do we have any volunteers and/or suggestions/advice?
I would guess that right now is the best time to get this started..before you all get really busy with preparations for TITW.
Please feel free to e-mail me with your ideas/suggestions/advice. [email protected]
Once again, his parents and his sister (and the entire nursing staff at hospice) want to thank you....from the bottom of our hearts for what you have given to and been for Brian.
God bless you~
