To all my friends who gave so generously and
to all those who were part of SPIN FOR KIM, to all the instructors
who gave of their time - Lori, Bryan, Patti, Michael, Abbie, Jason
and to Fotis for coming in and making it really special. To all of
you who have supported me with well wishes and prayers and
especially to Allison Geller and Sunny Allen.
I would like to thank each and every one of
you for giving so kindly and enabling me to begin my recovery from
this terrible disease. I know I have a long road ahead, thanks to
you all I am on that road.
Allison Geller and Sunny Allen are two of the
most special people one could ever meet and I am extremely fortunate
to have them in my life.
Allison, thank you so very much for organizing
SPIN FOR KIM. Without your hard work and caring attitude this would
never have taken off - I appreciate it. From the phone call I
received, during the first hour of the ride, I knew everyone was
having fun. Your are a great person who I am very lucky to call
friend.
Sunny - what can I say? When I was ready to
give up you were there to pick me up. Sunny has been and continues
to be my pillar of strength, when things get tough she is always
there for me. Those of you who know Sunny, know what a kind and
giving person she is, one of a kind. I don't think I could ever give
back what she has given me. I know without her I would not have been
able to begin this journey on this road. Sunny, thank you for your
unconditional kindness and support.
Thank you all so very much for your support,
prayers, generosity and kindness during this time, I sincerely
appreciate you all.
Fondly
As the population of
men and women over 60 years of age continues to grow the importance
of preventative health care becomes increasingly important.
Past research has shown that decreased flexibility, strength, and
aerobic fitness are a result of decreased activity, not just a
result of the aging process. This suggests that if one
maintains an active lifestyle as they age they may have less
loss of strength, flexibility and aerobic fitness.
