🚣♀️ 🚣 🚣♂️Texas Crew FAM… SOME NEWS ABOUT FORMER COACH, BLAIR RASMUSSEN… PLEASE READ THE MESSAGE BELOW AND SHOWER HIM WITH OUR TEXAS CREW LOVE. 🤘🤘🤘:
Greetings,
On behalf of Blair and Judy, we are writing to share some difficult news.
You are receiving this email because you are a dear friend to Blair and Judy, and have helped Blair’s team, The RetroGenerates, raise over $100,000 in support of brain research and improving the lives of those with neuro-degenerative illnesses.
We have known Blair for many years and know him to be funny, obstinate, courageous and incredibly strong. Blair has had to rely on all these qualities since his Parkinson’s diagnosis over 20 years ago, and continues to do so as Parkinson’s relentlessly erodes his quality of life.
Blair, with Judy’s love and support, has made the difficult decision to apply for Medical Assistance In Dying (MAID), which is legal in Canada. The application process is ongoing and, while no date has been scheduled, it is Blair’s wish to move quickly.
On behalf of Blair and Judy, we are reaching out to share this news and invite you to connect with Blair and Judy to share your memories, your laughter and your love with them. If possible, we are asking that you share any pictures or videos of your memories and create audio or video messages for Blair and Judy to enjoy at their leisure. Please send your messages and photos to [email protected] or message Judy at (403) 978-5715 to schedule a time to connect.
Most of us know Blair and Judy through the rowing community and know that pulling together is what our community is all about, on and off the water. Let’s pull together now for Blair and Judy to show them our love and support in this difficult transition.
Thank you,
Brian and Susie Saunderson
