My Weapons of Choice


For every share of the original Facebook post or LinkedIn article before September 28, NEVER STOP NEVER QUIT will donate $1 to the bike MS campaign of Eleanor Byrne. Please help me spread the message and support our fight!


In my fight against the devastating effects of multiple sclerosis, my weapons of choice are my words.
My stories serve a dual purpose. Personally, they are my therapy. In a broader sense, I hope to reach out to this audience, enlighten you with my words, and share my message of hope.
It started with me — you can help me fulfill my dream.
“…fantastic stories, where I’m limited only by my imagination, not by the confines of this stupid disease.”

Dominic Bandall is a condemned man. A once powerful attorney in New York City, he and his law partner, his wife Sharon, focused towards their never-ending fight for justice.

Christopher Baxter is a man recognized for his accomplishments: West Point graduate, medical doctor, combat veteran. Chris is also a condemned man-a man who struggles with the familiarity of circumstances he has carried his entire life.
Nothing else changes; no mystical stories or tales of fantasy. What would you do if humanity stopped dying? As the world struggles to come to grips with dormancy, is one man-Chris Baxter-just another unwilling participant, the curse, or their salvation?

There are two versions of this story. When the story was first written, Eleanor refused to read it with me unless there were pictures. The second version is the original picture board used to read this to my daughter at bedtime.
My MS and E is a children’s picture book depicting a typical interaction between Kevin and his daughter, Eleanor. They share an unbreakable father-daughter bond, even in the face of his ongoing struggles with multiple sclerosis.
This story is a heartwarming tale of how they grow, learn, struggle, and celebrate life in their mantra of Never Stop… Never Quit…
