I want out of this chair

Hopes & Dreams
I would love to start a fundraising in order to fulfill my biggest dream which is to "Get Out of This Chair" but must of all, I would love to show people that nothing is impossible once you truly put your mind into it and believe with all your heart. Because obstacles will always come in your way but you need to persevere in order to pursue your dream.
Having my purpose in mind, I decided to become my own fundraiser coordinator. As my quest started as a coordinator, I have to study my homework, first. How is the process? What can I do or don't? Should go as a personal or through a foundation? Do you have to pay taxes? As I go deeper, many other questions arise because this is totally new for me.
At first, I expressed my desired to my friend Anne Lucero from Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. My dear friend was ready to do anything to help me. She even had the thought of writing a book about my story, since I have many diaries kept from my childhood, 1979. She said, "Let's translate all your diaries from Spanish to English for your story" and lets call it, "Simply ... Maddy", Anne's soul mate is a fabulous writer.
After a while of looking for answers without any results ... my dream slowly was postpone. Until one day, my friend Linda Helin came for a visited. After a long conversation, I asked my aide to position my feet because I was uncomfortable. Then, she realized; I have feelings in my legs. Linda started wondering... How come? What happen to you? Do you have feelings in your legs? She told me,"Maddy you need to get out of this chair". As a brilliant entrepreneur woman, she told me what to do and this is how www.iwantoutofthischair.com was born. Here I am today more determining than ever. I declared the year 2008 to be my year to shine and fulfill my dreams.

Some of my martial arts students have been able to arise from their chairs and walk. Feeling can return for many reasons. Please tell us more about your story.
