The Parting of the Ways
I hope this finds you all doing well. I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted a Ryland Report. I do apologize for that, and for keeping everyone in the dark regarding my standing with the company and my health. I have not really spoken to Star or David about this, as I have been dealing with things personally The guys and gals of PWS have been absolutely killing it since the company came back into the spotlight, and I got one, am excited to see what the future holds for the company, it’s a true shame I won’t be a part of it.
For the past few months, I have been dealing with some increasingly serious health issues. Long story short is I have a muscular disease called Chronic Inflamatory Demylenating Polyneuropathy. It’s a disease that causes my muscles to deteriorate, leaving me weakened. It has reached the point that I am rarely able to get around without the assistance of a walker or wheelchair.
I want to thank everyone at PWS for everything they’ve done. I still remember walking into the building when we were starting PWSi, meeting Max Sheppard and Chris Wylde, and them going over how they brought me in to be the voice of PWSi, much like Art had been for PWSR. I was, and have been so incredibly honored to be a part of this amazing organization over the years. I’ve had so so so many fond memories that I will cherish forever.
When we re-opened PWS this year, I had every intention of being a part of the family once more. Unfortunately it seems fate has other plans. I can’t express enough how proud I am of everyone here. Everyone from the talent to the staff to the security team to the crew members. Everyone has done an absolute fantastic job in breathing life back into the three letters we love so much.
I want to give a special shoutout to Star Stormz and David Shane. Thank you for allowing me to come back and take part in this. It really has been a highlight of my life. I know it’s cliche, but it truly has been a dream come true.
And now, to the fans, to you guys. A wild and crazy bunch the lot of you are, but you are the absolute best people in the world. I hope you continue to enjoy the product for years to come. You all have been my strength through all of this, more than you could ever imagine. There have been times where things got pretty dark, but it was your passion, your love that saved me. For that, thank you just simply isn’t enough.
I don’t know for sure what the future holds for me. I have been in contact with medical professionals regarding treatment for my disease, but I do not know what all that will entail. That is why, effective immediately, I am taking an indefinite sabbatical from PWS-APEX. This is not a decision I am making lightly, as I have spent weeks thinking it over, praying for some breakthrough that would allow me to continue with my position with the company, but the truth is my condition is preventing me from doing that. I wish all the success in the world for PWS, I hope you all absolutely kill it at Center Stage and beyond. I’m sure you will.
I’m sorry if this is overwhelming for anyone, and I’m sorry I didn’t open up sooner, I honestly didn’t know where to start. Again, thank you to everyone for everything. I truly hope this isn’t goodbye, but only time will tell if that’s the case. As for right now, this will be the final Ryland Report. I hope you all can understand and appreciate for my desire to focus on treatments and simple inability to continue doing these.
I guess I’ve rambled long enough. This has been the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in this business. Again, I apologize, thank you for everything, and I find it fitting to end things with a quote that I’ve almost become famous for in the PWS universe. Full Speed to Barcelona!
