thanks alot

I care for people with MS and even the smallest of tasks are a problem for them. I would say just send one item and write a really nice, sincere letter. I'm sure she wont mind signing one item but asking for three from a lady with a disability may come across as a bit grasping {thumb2}

Annette has been very ill with MS for 20 years and has not signed anything for at least 3 years due to tremors. These "success" stories are from people who have been duped by her husband, who signs her photos (or has someone else do it). THESE ARE NOT ANNETTE'S AUTOGRAPHS. Her husband doesn't share her fan mail with her. Sad, but true. I have known Annette and her family for many years so this post is from someone who knows the situation.

THIS IS NOT A JOKE OR SPAM.

If you want to help Annette, please make a donation to her fund for neurological diseases:
