Why we say go
“…I would say go.”
Joshua Slocum, the first person to sail alone around the world, 1900
We say it to you.
Can I still do that?
Should I stay home?
Maybe next year.
Maybe not.
MS can make your world smaller.
It happens one small no at a time. The plans stop, the trips stop, and the world shrinks around you.
So we say go.
Go comes in every size.
Every one counts. You pick yours.
- Ask for help.
- Say yes to a plan.
- Step onto a dock.
- Take the helm.
- Sail to a new port.
- Cross an ocean.
Where it started
Tim said go.
Tim Archie found out he had MS in January 1999. The next day, he kept a promise. He took his three-year-old son to New York and helped him hail his first taxi.
He kept saying go for twenty years. That boy was Duff, who started Expedition MS.
What’s your go?
Big or small. Tell us, and we’ll write back.
Got it. We’ll write back.
