If you are reading this, then you probably have a "Gary Murray story." In fact, you probably have multiple Gary Murray stories. And he has probably told that story you're thinking of many times - told it to others in that way only he knows how to tell a story, with that mischievous smile and infectious laugh that makes everyone hearing that story kind of hope they are part of a Gary Murray story one day, too. But there is a story in the works right now that Gary does not tell enthusiastically. And we need to do everything we can to help this story have a happy ending - quickly. Perhaps you have heard some of this story over the past year - it's the "Herb" story.

 

The Story of Herb:


Herb is the skate fish that put a damper on Gary's 40th birthday in 2015 by deciding to dink him in the back of the hand with his tailspine at Buckroe Pier. Gary was generously trying to get the hook out of Herb's mouth instead of just cutting him loose and allowing it to rust away in there. But Herb was an a-hole and didn't appreciate the gesture. So Herb punctured his hand, left some tailspine in there, caused a rare infection that has been difficult for even the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta to identify, and has lead to an obscenely expensive and painful condition to live with. Here's the part where I tell you how much his condition sucks -  but only because, if I'm asking you for help, I have to tell you why - or else, why would you help? So here goes - this infection makes every day a physical struggle. At worst, it's a threat to his life, and at "best"...well, let's say Gary and the drummer from Def Leppard will have something in common. But, if you help me, we can find an alternative ending - additional specialists and new treatments that could save both his life and his hand. 

 

And then we can ALL tell this Gary Murray story and be a part of it for the rest of our lives...the story where some a-hole named Herb thought he'd be cute and try to start some -ish, but in the end he just got his ass kicked by all of us.

 

I'm Lori. Gary is my best friend. I have to do something to help. This is one of the ways I'm trying.  I'm asking you for help - he isn't. In fact, he may insist I take this entire thing down. But if so, at least I tried. Thanks for at least reading this. - Best Wishes, Lori

 

PS - Goal is $8000, not $800. I typed the wrong number and haven't figured out how to change it yet, but I'll get it changed soon.
