Hello List members,
I know that there are several of my
friends who have been subscribed to the list for the past 9 or more years, who
have had the opportunity to meet and get to know Dick and Deanne Gilmur, the
parents of a young child who was diagnosed with transverse myelitis when she was
18 months old. Because of their strength and their quest for more
information about TM and finding a cure for their daughter, while at the same
time raising awareness of TM throughout the world, Dick and Deanne started The
Transverse Myelitis Association. Because of their hard work back then,
today we have endless opportunities to share our information, share our daily
experiences and daily frustrations, and medical centers worldwide are more aware
of TM when one of us first comes into the hospital with our paralysis and other
problems.
I am very sad to report that Dick
Gilmur passed away this week after a 2 year battle with mantle cell
lymphoma. He died at his home in Tacoma, Washington. We will miss
him so much.
Debbie
