Help to save Mikey's life
As you know, Mikey has always been able to smile through the pain, no matter what, until recently. The pain in his stomach is now worse than ever and has led to an inability to eat, causing rapid weight loss. At 6'1", he's a meager 75 lbs and dropping fast. It's getting more difficult for Mikey to smile through the pain and fear.
One of the only places where Mikey can get help is the MAYO clinic in Minnesota. There, a team of specialized doctors will work together to figure out how his illnesses affect each other and can be treated to restore health and balance to his body so he can keep living his incredible life.
All of this obviously comes with a large amount of costs, which can only be covered with the help and donations of as many people as possible – even if it's just a dollar. Please click on one of the two following links to access the crowd funding campaigns that will help Mikey get better. Thank you!
Tough
@Very_Accessible: Although things are tough..I live my dream. Get to know a few other disabled people and you would see how worse it is. I can never complain.
The Mikey way
There are many people, my parents included, who don't see why I'm here (LA from NJ). The weather and medicine is not a good enough reason for them, because there are kids with MD in NJ... Even tho i kicked the Medical Marijuana law into action in NJ over two years ago with help from Assemblywoman Vandervalk (a republican) yeah I know how to work politics ;) and many patients, sadly we just lost one of the main fighters with me, Diane. We were on the cover or all the newspapers, NY times, and just about everyone else who used the photo (poster child) for LA and NJ.
anyways! It's cold in NJ, plain and simple, my parents say, there are plenty of kids happy in NJ with MD.... I say ask them if California would make them happier... I'd put money on that.. Sorry Mom and Dad, it's a health risk I won't take. California is where I live, and I plan on going out here too :) I love it here :)
I'm not one of those normal dudes, I've never been like anyone. I set ridiculous goals, challenges, and have chosen just about the hardest life I had available to me, all for one word:
FULFILMENT
i have created a life here that is beyond beautiful... Sure I'm hungry and broke... I'm dedicated to changing that one day... But the beautiful part is that the universe is keeping me alive. I've fallen out of the chair at high speed, hung upside down for 5 and a half hours (not on purpose) lol can't count how many times I almost died. Starved for 4 years, I'm 83 lbs with clothes now at 6'1''
But you know what?... Most people think because things are tough and I'm alone that that makes me unhappy or depressed...
Lemme tell you. Sure it would be nice to have company, female :)... But hasn't the past been filled with so much beauty, meeting people, experiences, new friends? And I've had the same status... Happy as a pig in %€+.
Why??!?!?!
Because I wanna be, I wanna do everything, meet everyone, go everywhere, spread the word about how to achieve happiness in a way that is NEVER taught in school.
Maybe I'm crazy, well probably, I've been called that my whole life. But those who know me, know Mikey's got something big down the line. And I do. I have this muscular dystrophy for a reason, maybe it's to show those with it or similar how to overcome it, be bigger than it.
Do I have an ego... No.
I'm confident, you have to be in life.
I believe in what works and I also have an extra sense... It makes some people uncomfortable because I can see in their souls. I was born with a crutch and a gift. I'm gonna show myself, more then anyone, that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. And share it.
If I didn't receive emails from around the world id keep all this to myself, and would have never continued making one video or have an online presence.
I feel this is what I must to... It may take time, it may look ugly, it may make NO SENSE TO YOU. But in my heart... It's all that drives me.
It's LOVE. I've received it more then I could have ever dreamed. Keeping my spirits high. Everyone online, my family, and even tho I'm not very known. I could care less haha what's meant to be, will be. And ONE is better than none :) I'm honored to have 600 something, thanks to Paris, and Kayden for getting me started :)
I have faith. Lots of it. Follow your heart, that's all i do and I have had the life that many have envied, and I have had a hard time even believing some of the things that happened... Danny gives me a private TOOL show, countless actors and musicians, Hugh Hefner picture, playboy mansion party, becoming friends with the sweetheart Paris Hilton, going to Acapulco with my good friend Pablo ( he flew myself and a friend there to take care of me ), Dean May, Pablo Machado, Paul Oakenfold, Danny and Justin from TOOL, have all been so so kind, love you guys, Bill Manspeaker for Green Jellö saving my life, the Mexicans! And all my peeps in LA, and AROUND THE WORLD! It's an honor to be me. There are honestly too many people! I'm surrounded by love!!
And it's this determination and will power that I want everyone to have that will never allow someone to be unhappy. There is too much pain in the world, people deserve to be happy! Just as I do. We are the masters of our destiny, the universe only points us in the direction.
Ok no more crazy thoughts my mike at almost 2 am haha
LOVE ALL OF YOU! Thank you for being a part of this beautiful unique life. It helps more than you know to see followers or get messages or friend requests. I have the best people in my life. In couldn't be more thankful.

Mikey

I'm sorry mom and dad
For those who read my posts there is no mystery that I have had anger, frustration and discord with my parents I have said awful, and hurtful things, and all the while all they did was support me the best they can, and believe me it's been a lot. It's more then expensive to try and to what I'm doing. Living this Dream. Do I deserve it, no, I have fought with my parents my whole life, while they loved me. I am a very happy guy, but I wasn't always. I took out my frustration of 28 years on my parents. Probably because we tend to take out our problems on those who we know will still love us. Nonetheless inexcusable.
I have been in the wrong and have been quite the ass. Most parents wouldn't give a damn like mine
Most parents would say your COMPLETELY ALL ALONE MAKING CRAZY DECISIONS AND MOVING TO CALI!!
Not my dad tho, and not my mom. I spit in their faces and still expected support. And they gave it to the very best of their ability, and I took it for granted out of anger. AND I DESERVED NONE OF IT. Anger I've been holding onto for 28 years. Anger they don't deserve to be the receiving end of..
My parents should have completely dropped me by now with the way I've acted. I'm sitting here (obviously) ashamed at myself. Embarrassed, and thoroughly disappointed with myself.
I gave everyone who helped by donating to me credit, but them. Which was not fair. And the worst part is that they love me and unconditionally are there for me, while being scared out of their mind for their son.
I would be too. And they love me, all they want is me safe.
I owe them the biggest apology in the universe. And I have to admit to myself that it's impossible to be independent, while defendant.
I'm sorry mom, and I'm sorry dad, u deserved none of it.
Although they don't understand why I'm here in California, they offer their support and home in NJ to me. But I think you all know me well enough that California is my home till the end.
Day by day I will be working at my relationship with them, and it will take me, not them, to create change.
I appreciate you more than you know dad, and I have taken your advice, I wouldn't have made it this far if I had not.
I love you and I'm sorry mom and dad
Love
Your son
This life is my problem. I don't intend on ever making you have any more due to me.

Thank you mom, thank you dad
We never saw eye to eye. We still don't. There is something I will never understand, being a father or mother to a disabled child, helpless. I know ur worried about me. Angry with me for certain things. But I wanna say throughout all our differences I love you. I'm sorry I can't explain what it's like being me. I'm trying to do something that in my heart calls to me. I am sorry for the harsh words. Like I said its not easy being either of us.
But I love you
I love u mom
I love u dad
One day we will find harmony
Love
Ur son in Cali
But I love you
