I love the Amazing Race. I have watched every episode and always wondered if I could be a contestant to win the $1m. It's all very exciting. And, I've always thought, "Phil is such a nice guy". Well, he's more than a nice guy, he's an MS hero. Why? He is traveling from San Diego to Miami to host screenings of his documentary "The Ride", about his amazing cycling journey across the US of A. The best part? He raised over $500,000 for MS.
So, if you live in or near San Diego, Seattle, Atlanta, Knoxville, Houston, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Washington DC, Orlando or Miami, you have a chance to meet Phil in person and watch his film "The Ride". Click here to purchase tickets and, if you live in San Diego, I'll see you there!
Best always,
Christie

Personal Health Disclosure - Do You or Don't You?
WEGO Health recently polled the health activist community about personal health disclosure. They asked folks last month to “Finish This Tweet” on this important topic in 140 characters or less.
“I do/don’t disclose my health status b/c ______________”
Check out the image below to see what some of us had to say or click here. This sparked some good conversation and folks really opened up.
My response? I don't disclose (at work) because I don't want to be misunderstood. You know I am going to ask you to share. Do you or don’t you disclose? Curious minds want to know.
Best,
Christie
