United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

Hey guys. I know it has been a long time since I posted, and I apologize. I still miss and love every single one of my "special people". Well just to catch you guys up, I have been attending college full time and working full time (I think I put a lot on my plate) but there isn't anything I can’t handle. I am studying Cardiovascular Technology and still working @ the hospital. I am looking forward to catch up with everyone I met and have missed since last camp.

For those who have never met me I am a 25 year old man who was born with a LOBPI. Since I have found out about my injury 3 years ago, I have used it as an excuse to succeed and not fail. Even though it has not been easy and I have gone through all the pains and teasing, and before I knew of my injury I used it as my crutch. Since I Have been with the UBPN and shared with others, I can joke with my little problem. Because I realize there is many people out there with physical problems of their own. It takes a lot of love forgiveness and strength to keep going and to always find what makes you happy, and to follow your heart and dreams.

Since the semester is ending, I hope I can spend more time with my BPI family
Stay happy see you @ camp

Hi Anthony

I am so happy to hear from you. You sound like you are doing great and have come a long way since Camp 2003. I hope you can make it to camp this year.
I was hoping we would hear from you and the great progress you have made in the past two years.
Glad to see you back!
