I'm forwarding Allen Rucker's original message to the whole list, as there
have been several messages sent to me regarding my message. I hope this
clears everything up.
I don't know what he used for his criteria for names, but I am sure it
wasn't his intention to leave anyone out of this.
Hugs to all, Barbara A

Dear TMA members in and around San Francisco:
My name is Allen Rucker. I am a writer in Hollywood, a TM survivor since
1996, and author of a book about my experiences with TM, "The Best Seat In The
House: How I Woke Up One Tuesday and Was Paralyzed For Life," currently out in
hardback. For more information, go to _www.allenrucker.com_
(http://www.allenrucker.com) .
I am writing you about a very special event to take place in San Francisco
on Saturday, Dec 8th. A young San Francisco woman named Cynthia Noonan was
stricken by TM only weeks ago and is now paralyzed from the chest down. Friends
and family of Cynthia are holding a fundraiser for her and her husband,
Trevor, on the 8th as a way of raising some much needed medical funds as well
as
surrounding Cynthia with love and support.
For more details about Cynthia, go to _http://noonansupport.blogspot.com/_
(http://noonansupport.blogspot.com/) .
The event will be held from 12 to 5 on Saturday 12/8 at Liverpool Lil's at
2942 Lyon @ Lombard in San Francisco, CA. The number there is 415.921.6664
Cynthia's mother-in-law, Nancy Noonan, dropped me an email and ask if I
would come and sign books, and I of course said yes. A local bookstore, Book
Passage, is donating copies of "The Best Seat" and probably a few of the
Soprano
books I've written for sale. All proceeds go to Cynthia and Trevor, of course.
Every person receiving this email knows exactly what Cynthia and Trevor are
going through in this early stage of recovery, and I know they would be moved
and inspired by your presence at this event. The first person I called about
TM when I was first diagnosed was Sandy Siegel, a man,as you all know, of
both great knowledge and boundless compassion, and that call made all the
difference in the world to me.
Please come if you can and support Cynthia and Trevor. It will probably do
you as much good as it does them.
Thanks so much and let me know if you have any questions about this.
Cordially,
Allen Rucker
