This is going to be pretty different from my normal posts, but perhaps one of the most important ones I have put up. I don’t technically ask a lot of my readers or people who stop by this blog. This time, I ask you to take a few minutes today and devote it to this post and the people in it. I wont fill up this post with too much of my words because I want to showcase the words of others. What I do have to say, is pretty simple.

I was up late last night and received a link to the web series “Often Awesome.” The series follows Timothy LaFollette’s (30) journey and his terminal battle with ALS. Tim and his new wife, Kaylan don’t have much more time left together and have decided to not only spend it with each other, but with the world. They have choose to be a voice for hope, change, and love for not only the people personally affected with ALS, but people in general.

It isn’t just them either, but the team of people and friends who have come together to help make this process something special – something that maybe makes the heartache of losing such a wonderful friend a little bit easier. It’s evident everywhere, even in their t-shirts that say “Putting the Team in Terminal!” These people remind you what living is all about. They remind you that humans, are often awesome.

Take something from this and be thankful for what you have. Be thankful for the chance to change things you can change.

The Episodes
There are 20 episodes all total right now. I am putting two below that, for whatever reason, struck a chord with me the most. I think the sheer love and coming together of so many people to do good is…inspiring of humanity.

What If I Don’t Have a Facebook?

You do WHATEVER you want to do to get the word out. Twitter, your email, a blog, or leave a comment on their blog and let them know you care. Do one or do all! Getting the word out is the most important thing.

I am going to keep this up until Monday. Please do everything you can to spread the word. If you know someone that has a larger audience, encourage them to talk about it. It’s small things to begin a movement and how great would that be for them to see that take place. You have to know what this can do for Tim and his friends and family during this time. Also, please think about donating. Every little bit helps.
