Project Action, is just what it sounds like. I am ready to start taking action. It is time for me to start actually doing all of the things that I have eluded to doing in the past. I want to stop thinking about what I could do and figure out what I can do. First and foremost I would like to embrace the most literal meaning of the word action. I am going to get moving and get fit. For all of you out there that know me, brace yourself for what's coming next.
ACTION #1: Starting tomorrow February 16, 2010, I am going to start training for a Triathlon.
I realize how completely insane this sounds, believe me! It has actually taken me almost 3 weeks to commit this to writing. Which brings me to action #2.
ACTION #2: I am going to start writing. This is something that I have always talked about doing and short of the on-again, off-again journal writing, I have always excused myself from putting pen to paper for one reason or another. Well, now I have a topic and an outlet. I am going to document my daily efforts and struggles on this blog as I work towards my goal. And yes, I fully intend and wholly expect that you will all laugh at me along the way.
ACTION #3: I will write about this in more depth as we carry on, but I am not just doing all this for myself. Project Action 2010 was actually born out of grief and a feeling of utter helplessness. The loss of my Grand Dad in January 2010 and his truly brave battle with Parkinson's disease has inspired me to...well...take action! I will be asking people to sponsor me in my triathlon and with the help of Team Fox (The Michael J. Fox Foundation), raising as much money and support as I can for Parkinson's research.
There is a lot to digest here and I have a lot to tell you about if you choose to follow and support me in this journey. I hope you do.
