Personal Message from Harrison

[Harrison]

Hey members. Ill be starting my new job next week and will miss spending the time with you. Ill be around of course, but not as much, as I�ll be back into the fray of corporate challenges (which I actually miss).

Since I launched the web site in the fall of last year, Ive been fortunate to meet many of you. My gratitude extends to many. You�ve been good friends during my tough times and �model� members that have helped many people. Moki, an exceptional human being and friend, was kind enough to deploy both web sites (this board/site is part of www.adrsupport.org ) and enabled the creation of the entire community. Without the services of Resolution Seven, none of this community would exist.

So many of us have complex needs because of our spinal issues: emotional support, technical advice and insurance nightmares to name a few. Yet, so many members have selflessly reached out to help other members and it is truly inspiring to see. This filial caring is truly the essence of a helpful community, and it gives me great pride to see this seed planted. I hope that in the days ahead, you remember others that need your help.

We now have nearly 200 members, and the enrollment rate of new members is increasing. Expect to see the board membership grow, as you see posts from new members needing your help. All of you collectively provide an amazing support system (Wisdom of the Crowds?) to patients in need -- and your replies, whether pithy or private, help in more ways than you may know!

Thanks for providing comfort to your brothers and sisters. God bless all of you!

thx Bill, and thx for helping many people!

Thank-you Brother Rich

However, I think that all the credit needs to go back to you because if it was not for you and your vision to create this site - None of us would be here!

Ditto to what Bill said. You have done a great job!!!

Rich,

I second (or tenth, or thousandth) everyone's applause. You have created the best place on the internet for spine patients looking for ADR information. Nicely done!

I won't say that we'll miss you, because you won't be gone. As you move on with your life, I wish you the best of everything in your new job, your life and especially, your health.

Sincerely,

Mark

PS... see you on May first!

Rich,
You've created a great website with excellent information/resources that likely many of us could not access elsewhere.

I admire the way your pursuit of better back health evolved and am pleased that you have rejoined the ranks of the employed!

However, you will be sorely missed should you stay away too long~ Sincerely, Maria Azzarone

Harrison,

You are such and inspiration to all of us. You started this site to help others that are or have struggles with the same life experience as you. ADR or the search for ADR. You have touched so many lives with this site and mine included. I can not tell you how greatful I am to have a place to go to talk to people who understand exactally what I am going thru, thinking, feeling and searching for. Support! You are truly an Angel for that. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Best of luck to you at your new job. They are very lucky to have you!

Nichole
