 About Me
I have a wonderful husband, Craig; I don't know how I could manage without his constant support and help. We have 2 grandsons locally, 1 with autism. We have 4 grandkids in Utah. I am the Vice President of the Spastic Paraplegia Foundation (SPF). SPF includes PLS and HSP (Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia). www.sp-foundation.org. Check us out. I was an avid tennis player in my "previous life". I volunteer at the local hospital but due to my progression, I now work in the gift shop.
