News Postings is our version of a BLOG and will address topics under multiple categories including: Reflections, News, Events, Christopherisms and others we may add in the future.  These categories are intended to give you a glimpse into our life as we deal with the diagnosis of ALS.  We invite you to click on comments and give your feedback which will appear on the site.  The comments you make may spark further discussion and are greatly encouraged.  If you don't want your comment public, just send us an email instead.   Thank you for being here!

Just a quick press notification.  The Bishop family will be appearing on KCNC-TV/CBS4 News in the Denver area at 7 a.m. MDT on Sunday, May 21, 2006.

Since May is ALS Awareness Month, the subject of discussion will concentrate on awareness and our Extra Hands for ALS program.  Please join us Sunday morning or set the Tivo, DVR or VCR recorder if you are not planning on getting up that early.  This is live, so it will be interesting for this family at that hour!

We would like to thank Susie Roy for pitching this story to the Channel 4 staff.  Thank you also to CBS4 News Producer, Alan Singer for the opportunity and Reporter, Jodi Brooks for setting it up.

The generosity of the media to air these human interest stories is a huge key to our success in building awareness for this horrible disease.  Occasionally, I lose perspective of ALS because I am so blessed with my slow progression.  Unfortunately, I am too often reminded of the normal progression when Jennifer and I are notified of yet another death in our ALS community.  I am so thankful that I can still participate with Jennifer in these PR opportunities and hopefully do justice to those of us that cannot.
