I took a brief hiatus from posting here after an intense couple of weeks pushing for the (successful) lusovu/Eyespeak Kickstarter campaign. Many thanks to the over 600 people who donated and to the hundreds who Tweeted, posted, emailed and called on their behalf.
Linda and I have spent the last couple of days outside at the lake and ocean. Nothing like water, Maine air and sunshine to clear the cobwebs and refresh the soul.
So...where do we go from here? We have our two other Innovators to support. Rupal Patel's VocaliD and John Costello both have different needs but complimentary services. We'll see what we can do. For more about them, go to:

Next, we're still in need of volunteers. People with experience in event planning and an accountant willing to offer some Pro Bono guidance are needs as I write this, but anyone willing to roll up their sleeves will be welcome with open arms.
Linda and I know the foundation is on the proper course and we're trying not to be impatient. After all, we just launched on May 6th. Still, we are ever cognizant of the days that pass - hard not to do when you have a "terminal" disease. Our hearts are set on getting an ALS/MS Residence built in Maine while our minds are conscious of the enormity of the task.
Regardless of where this new adventure may take us, we are humbled by those who have joined us, thankful for those who will and mindful of the thousands of families battling neurodegenerative diseases of every kind.
If YOU have an idea for fund raising, assistance, networking relevant to our mission (see: http://www.hope-jg.org/#!about_us/csgz) or want to volunteer, email us at: info@hope-jg.org.
Now...BACK TO WORK!
