I hope you wake up early enough in the morning to put on your favorite outfit and make your favorite breakfast. I hope you find your skin clear and hair healthy. I hope you’re content with the way your body looks. I hope you find happiness in small things today. I hope that, even with your ups and downs, you are content with yourself.
When all is said and done, whether I die in two years or sixty-eight years, I want people to look back and say, “Yo, that dude Shane was hella sexy and funny and tried his best to make a change in the world.”
My incredible experience here on Tumblr over the last four years has taught me this: love amongst strangers is a powerful phenomenon.
I’m asking for your help. All it takes is a simple reblog.
I was born with a fucked up disease called spinal muscular atrophy that makes my muscles waste away as I get older. On my blog here, I’ve shown you how my disease complicates every aspect of life, from going poop to having sex to playing sports.
The older I’ve gotten, the more important it has become for me to help others going through similar situations.
So I started a nonprofit organization, with very little idea what that even meant, but now, I’m finally in a position to start making real changes.
With our newest program, No More Nightmares, we provide people with my disease the adaptive technology they need to keep living awesome lives.
In order to fulfill all the grant applications we are getting, (for things like ramps, and vans, and medical equipment) we need consistent revenue.
I believe that enormous change begins with small change, and so I’m asking for your help tonight. To continue building funds for this vital program, I’ve created a little support page.
If you can, I’m asking that you toss us a buck or two. Together, I believe we can achieve incredible things, which translates to thousands of people with muscular dystrophy getting the things they need to thrive.
Last year, 22-time Emmy award-winning reporter John Stofflet posted this news video he created for KING-TV in 2004, featuring Paul Smith and his artistic talents.

A MUST TO REBLOG
PLEASE REBLOG. I don’t care if it’s truth or not. But it may be, and you have to understand that this is REALLY important. When you get your hands dirty you just go to the bathroom and clean them. Well this people can’t, and they can’t shower either. And they need that water to drink it, and to stay alive. There’s people out there suffering, and just by reblogging you can help them. So please, I don’t care if this doesn’t fit your blog, this is actually worth it.
I come from a small rural town in Australia, and 3 weeks ago, a young man from this town was unfortunately diagnosed with a Grade 4 Brain Tumor. His name is Jackson Byrnes and is 18 years old. I went to High School with him and this news has been absolutely devastating for everyone.
His family have set up a donation page and need to raise $80,000 in order for him to get the best treatment for his condition. Jackson needs to make it to Sydney for an operation to remove his
tumor. Neurosurgeon Dr Charlie Teo is the best option for this life
prolonging surgery and the cost of said surgery equals the goal of the donation page. They do not
have alternatives! He needs to have this surgery on the 21st of April!
All sorts of fund raisers have already been held by our community but as it is only a small town, we cannot raise these substantial funds alone; so I have decided to turn to tumblr for help. His gofundme page needs a larger audience. Though I barely know him, I am desperate to help as I know how much of a
struggle it is to have a family member go through something like this.
Please, please, please consider making a donation towards this cause. You certainly won’t regret it. Don’t fail me now tumblr. Signal boosters unite!
