Every time my klutzy self gets a papercut or worse, I assure you that my blood runs orange. :) I have grown up with the Tigers; my first football game was the Gator Bowl at the end of the 1978 season, my mom was pregnant with me at the time. My dad graduated in 1975 from this wonderful university and I have followed his footsteps. Fortunately I graduated from "heaven" in May 2000 but will return as much as possible. The coolest thing is that I walked the stage in Littlejohn exactly 25 years after my father did and that makes me extremely proud.

Please visit any of the three links posted above and help us fight the #1 genetic killer of infants, Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Our beautiful daughter Rachael lived a short life, from May 9, 2005 to January 6, 2006, due to her battle with this illness. 1 of 40 people are carriers and don't even know it, and it is not part of any genetic testing, although there is currently legislation to push for SMA to be one of the tests given upon birth. We want to do everything we can to help find a cure, and you can help. Thanks!
