I agree with you Tony
completely! I believe he does like the spotlight on himself and his own
injury, but nonetheless no one is perfect and he is bringing more visibility to
all of our situations. And even better is he has numerous celebrities as
friends who hold even more potential to bring more visibility.

I get stuck in the mud all of the time when I'm pulling weeds. I always hope I can get out, as I don't root well.

Ok, here's my take on the Life Rolls On segment on Good Morning America!!
i caught it right before i went to work....personally, i don't see much of a message coming from the dude...he's just a goodlookin dude who's getting lots of attention, but the message should be that there very-well could be a medical solution on the horizon, but because our scientists have their hands tied, and severe lack of government funding, we might not see it in our lifetime....Jesse's overwhelming message is 'get out there and live life' Well, in his case, he doesn't really have to work, he's still gettin the chicks and probably getting paid handsomely through the Life Rolls On.org....and i think he loves the spotlight on HIS injury, not the thousands out here that are REALLY struggling.
just my opinion...how u feelin???

I missed it you all gonna have 2 start posting this stuff a few days earlier. Some of us only check emails 1 or 2 a day and on early nights in bed 7:30pm or so. Hopefully it will re-air. I love that this kid is brining funding and awareness to SCI as well as Christopher Reeves. That gives us others hope and a map of how we can get 2 where they are. If now you’re starting 2 think as I am that that’s the pinnacle of a quads life. Money, accessible house, van, trips, stardom & notoriety, experimental medicine, surgeries that are on the borderline of a cure. Well I can wait until they find a cure I don’t think I like being a guinea pig. I think Christopher Reeves looked scary when all his hair came out and they were drawing eyebrows on him. UGGHHH but somebody's gotta do it. Right? For a brighter future 4 us all one day. DREAMS

MEDIA ALERT Friday, August 20th 2004 at 8:05AM Good Morning America will air their recently completed story on Jesse Billauer, featuring the Life Rolls On Foundation. Set to broadcast at 8:05 AM PT/ET* on ABC (check your local listings), this exciting report will feature great interviews of Jesse Billauer, the Billauer Family, and others. Although we have yet to see the edited version, there will surely be some great information on the Life Rolls On Foundation as well. Footage from the new documentary "Jesse's Story," is used throughout. GMA is a two-hour show, from 7AM to 9AM, so if you are not going to be by a television we urge you to tape it. We urge you to tune in, tell your friends, and send LRO your feedback. The Good Morning America website can be found here <http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?ID=M6499159171972978170055&iEvent=49688> . Hopefully they will load up some info on LRO soon. * Subject to changes out of our control. GMA is a 2 hour program (7AM to 9AM) , and we are unsure exactly what time Jesse's piece will air, but have been told 8:05AM.
