I should post crap here more often!
So I have ALS, and that sucks, but I have amazing friends, and that's the best thing ever.
On November 10th, a whole bunch of them got together and marched for a mile to raise money for ALS research.
It was an amazing show of support and one that I'll never forget.
We raised $34,110.01, effectively doubling the amount raised by the second place team.
Furries did that. Yeah.
The organizers were blown away by the exuberant fun that a whole mass of fursuiters brings to an event.
It was the first time that the local ALSA reached their fundraising goal and it was the biggest walk ever.
Yeah, furries did that.
As I limped that mile, I watched the crowd break into smiles while we strolled by.
The "magic of fursuiting" is an overused phrase, but this was truly, well, magic.
ALS patients don't have much to be happy about, but I saw lots of them absolutely light up as the parade of adorable
fluff went by. That's an incredible gift.
Yup, furries did that.
I can never repay the kindness and support I've been shown by this community, and I'm damn proud to be here.
And you should be too!
Oh, and there's a great video, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eX4.....ature=youtu.be
The healing power of the fuzz is the best medicine ever.

I think the best thing you have managed to repeatedly accomplish, is leave lasting, life-long memories with so, so many people.
The kind that will always burn warmly when looked back upon, glimpsed into a story told to a friend, unable to help but smile while telling it.
I will always be inspired by the selfless legacy you've been leaving, as I hope many others do as well.

You are very kind and I appreciate that more than I can tell you.

This is easily one of the best and most uplifting posts and pictures I've seen all year. Thanks for reminding us there's still good in this world!
Thank you! It was a grand day and I felt so lucky to be part of it!
I'd like to hit the "Add to Favorites" button 10,000x! I am truly proud of you and our community. You have inspired so many of us and this is our way to say "Thank You" to the fuzziest of all dogs! PS: It still sucks we haven't been able to meet each other in person, but I'm not giving up hope on that!
Thank you so much!
I have received so much more than I've been given, and the support from this community keeps me moving forward.
Our paths may yet cross, and I look forward to it!

Hey DB it's good to know you are still with us. You have been missed! Mouse has asked how you have been doing... I had to tell her I didn't know. Would you please try to post more often for us.
HUGGGGGGGZ femm

Aw, thank you both!
I should have little more time on my paws coming up, and I'll try to be more active here.
I hope all is well with you!

You are very welcome dear one. Staying a little more in contact with those of us that know you would be nice.
I just got back from Seattle where I I spent Thanksgiving with Mouse and the woman she is helping to care for.

you have always been an inspiration to me, i am glad others can see that now
i met you at furfright may years back. an impression i remember greatly. thank you
Dogbomb, the amount of love and support you seem to give and receive is truly monumental, the fact that you and everyone else there did so much, it's truly inspiring! I wish there were things I could do to help light up the lives of others...I suppose I just need to find something and go for it, it's an intimidating thought, but seeing what you go through, it looks like a goal to aim for.
Thank you! I feel blessed to have such great support, and anything I've done in the past was worth the effort.
Go for it! Life is to be lived.

I dont know what really to say. I am extremely happy and sad at the same time. I cant be more proud of what all the furs did but at the ultament cost of your life.
Is it known what the final turn out was for your team fursuiters and non fursuiters?

Congrats on raising so much scratch! Always nice to have folks in your corner.
I was there in spirit, and the video was freaking amazing <3
We love you Dogbomb!

Glad this event went sooo well and y'all were able to spread the cheer like that. Good bless y'all and have a wonderful Thanksgiving Dogbomb.
Yes! There was three of me at once, and that's a lot of Dogbombs...
Dogbomb! Dude. I'm sorry I couldn't make the walk. As with everything you've shared here, it sounds like an incredible experience. And to raise so much for ALS - furries are pretty darn awesome! As promised, I have made a couple of contributions - even though they probably aren't counted towards your totals.
You are an amazing furry dog! :3

Thank you again for always being awesome.

Generation 1 and 2 fursuits, that's quite the thing to see someone with not one but 2 versions of their suit walking alongside them!
Much love from far away!
With immense courage and spirit you continue to face down something that would make many shake in their boots.

I've been reading your posts for years. You've always been such a bright light and a beautiful soul and in person you're so easy to be around. The thought that I won't see you again breaks my heart. It's selfish to say I don't want you to go Dogbomb, even tho we only meet every few years at cons. That's just how special you are and what a lasting impression I think you leave on a lot of people.
I know you're gonna fight this thing and give it hell. I'll cheer for you from the sidelines. I know if someone can beat it it would be you. No matter the outcome, I'm so proud of you Dogbomb. I'm happy to have met you. Thank you for just being you. We love you.

Everything about this is so, so amazing. I definitely saw that "magic" of fursuiting at the ALS event we volunteered for, it meant the world for us to bring smiles to their faces to ease the pain. In a time when a lot of negativity makes headlines, it's stories like these that bring to light how awesome furries are and the impact we can have
Yes, indeed, I know you get it!
Thank you for everything you do, and for being such an amazing light in this fandom.

It's just past midnight here on the East Coast, and I've got a grin stuck on my gob that's going to last until morning. You've got a great gang pulling for you.
Thanks for being who you are -- you are an inspiration to many!

Oof. Shame I couldn't attend... I was at the FurBQ that happened the same day... Mabye someday I can meet you since I also live in Cali!
I'm in tears at Zaraffa reading your speech. I'm late to the viewing party as always, but the mark you had on my own life, personally speaking, will last a lifetime. So much love my friend. You're legendary to me. And so many others,

You will always hold a special little spot in my heart. <3 I look forward to meeting you in another life, some day <3
I'm pretty sure this submission from Dog is 10x more inspiring than whatever my last post to FA will end up being. RIP, good sir.
Bless you, brother.
