PPMD Day 4: See You Next Year!

PPMD Day 4: See You Next Year!

Part 4 of Winheld's World coverage of Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy’s (PPMD) 2008 Annual Conference, July 17-20, in Philadelphia.

This year's conference sure did go by quickly! It seems like only yesterday that I was attending the first day of last year's conference! Somehow, I managed to wake up early after a late night out. Maybe the alcohol helped me sleep better (To any of my doctors reading this, perhaps you can write an order). More likely, I just wanted to get down to the hotel in time to bid farewell to my friends. Good thing I got there when I did, as the hotel staff was practically taking the food away. At least I was able see a number of friends and to meet a few more people.

Riding home, I felt glad to have gotten involved with PPMD. The work they do is helping so many people, and to me, that's what it's all about. As I said in yesterday's entry, attending next year's conference may be more challenging, but there's no way I'm going to miss it. I just hope it doesn't go by as quickly as this year's.
