First, I would like to say that I have been blessed in so many ways that I feel very fortunate indeed. Each year I think about what I can do to improve myself and become a better person. I have always been passionate about helping people that are less fortunate than myself. I religiously donate money to a number of worthy causes during the year, help at the food bank or donate some food to the poor and consider my duty done.
But, I was presented an opportunity to start a blog and I thought WOW! What a FABULOUS idea! I can use the internet as a medium to distribute information to people with disabilities. The blog can impact so many people in a very positive way!
About Me
- Peter Baca
- My purpose is to give you the hope that you can deal with this this difficult and misunderstood disease. I have personally experienced the difficult impact of this debilitating disease. I have FSH, Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, which is a common form of muscular dystrophy. Yes, I deal with it every day just like many of you! I have made substantial progress in managing this disease and family and friends have suggested that I share my knowledge. So, I thought, why not blog to help other people deal with the substantial physical and financial impacts. When I decided to do the blog, I thought it would be good to give a personal view of the challenges involved, therefore it is very personal. Muscular dystrophy can be very severe and have a very pronounced impact on the person that has it. So, I thought I should outline that struggle to give everyone a better understanding of the disease.

I think your blog is really great - I've always thought people with disabilities have it tough in all arenas .. let alone their families: & need the respect we all expect = we are all humans!! However there are so many uplifting stories - it is encouraging. It will be great to read others' comments - people with disabilities covers such a broad spectrum .. young - old, born with, developed, occurred by accident & all the ancillary debilitating symptoms or developments that occur - a great blog.
