Here is a touching message I received from Melody Townsend a while ago about her little boy Harrison, if I can make a difference in the life of just 1 young child then I guess I am doing ok and yes I will send him a message soon 🙂
“John just to let you know you have a little boy with a disability over here in the UK as one of your biggest fans. Every time he sits next to me when I am on Facebook and he sees you he says to me, “mom I know I have muscle problems but seeing your friend John he inspires me to do my physio and exercises to get strong like John Quinlan.” So thank you John you make my son so very happy could you send him a message please it would make him so happy.”
Here is your message Harrison, “To Master Harrison, Keep up the great work! Your friend always, John Quinlan”
“Helping support the troops with the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts.”

“So today, at 40 years old & 13 years after being in a ring with my mentor Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake watching over me,
I dawned the Peter Karalekas created masked Shane O’Kane gimmick one last time before I put it away forever and made these kids day. On this day I was a hero to my 6 year old son at his birthday party and maybe years from now he will look back and say, “I had a pretty cool dad”

PLEASE READ THIS ABOUT MY GOOD FRIEND ANDREW LITTLE WHO IS 6 YEARS OLD, IT WILL ONLY TAKE 1 MINUTE OF YOUR TIME
Andrew Little is 6 years old. He has a disease called Transverse Myelitis. He was born a normal, healthy little boy, but when he was 15 months old he was suddenly struck ill. Paralyzed from the neck down he was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis. Andrew was at that point, forced to live away from his family in a 24 hour care facility. He was to endure surgery after surgery and be in constant danger of further illness due to his weakened state. His single mother did all that she could to ease his fears and to keep him as happy as possible, but even that could not last as she passed away in 2012. Now Andrews grandmother is his sole guardian. His tragic story has captured the hearts of many and I hope it will capture yours. Andrew remains a very bright and happy little soul and the smallest of things bring him so much joy. His biggest and only wish is to receive Christmas cards from those who care. Last year we asked for cards to be sent to him, many did reply but, things took a terrible turn and Andrew ended up in the E.R. several times. He spent his most loved holiday in the hospital. He pushed through, even when we were all told to expect the worst. Sadly many of his cards were misplaced through his many moves. This year we have taken into consideration all possibilities and have established a mailing address that is controlled by his grandmother. By doing this we can ensure all cards will get to Andrew no matter where he may be. Here is his new Facebook page and a ‘Like’ from you on it would mean the world to him:
