Maryanne,
Thanks so much for you reply. I had read this article you mention as a friend of mine happened to have come across it and sent it on to me. I have printed it out this time and shall add it to the stacks and stacks of articles I have here.
Brad was a remarkable person, as some would say he was the total package, smart, funny, handsome and just so full of life and had such a passion for living. I think that only made it harder to accept his fate for me, but I am, slowly, coming to grips with it and am determined to do whatever I can as an individual to help get the message across to everyone that we just HAVE to find the cure and soon.
Again, thanks so much for taking the time to reply to me..
