Still Going!

We've not kept up with the blog as we had intended. But as most of our plans have evolved, so has this one! We've collected so many great stories and photos of our adventures, we're organizing them in a different way and will eventually present them when we're done.
ToTheFuture.org was originally designed as a one year mission, but we have found that our raising funds and awareness for Parkinson's disease has become a lifestyle for us. In fact, Debbie Brooks (co-founder of the MJFF) made that very comment to Terry last year at an event!
So the mission continues. We've reached 44 states and have 6 states to go. We've had to pace ourselves, but we're getting closer! And you never know what life has in store for you.
Last August, Terry and I (and our DeLorean time machine) were flown to South America for a series of commercials starring Christopher Lloyd for a consumer electronics company called Garbarino. You can see several of the commercials and fan videos on YouTube.
We were in Argentina for an entire month, which put our lives on a different track for a while! But we had fun, learned a lot, and introduced everyone we came into contact with to Michael's foundation. (Yes, we even did some out of country fund raising!)
No sooner had we landed in Miami and picked up the car from the airlines, we drove straight to New York City to help with the NIKE Marty McFly Mag shoe campaign, in which 1500 replicas were auctioned off for the foundation. (Another creative angle for leveraging the appeal of Back to the Future to fight Parkinson's.)
So, we're still on the mission! And more adventures will follow! -We promise to share.
