Hello everyone.  The past year has been very hard.  I've been blessed with great doctors and wonderful nurses.  With many procedures done and a few to go it's been difficult to accept my limits with what I can and can't do. I've attached a snapshot of a few of the conditions I've been battling 

After over 20 years of trying to help the kids and families that I've been lucky enough to meet I have a lifetime of memories that I will hold onto. Working with the families on the outside of treatment for years at a time has been a challenge I've dedicated my life to.  I hope I've been able to pass along the experience and knowledge to others and the beat will go on carrying a message of hope. 

It's hard to ask for help with anything when it comes to me. Asking for financial help has been a process to get myself to. It's with humility and gratefulness I thank you. The medical bills are unbelievable.  Only through Dino do I have a home. He continues to help me as much as he can.  Knowing the Lodge is ok with Mike Rich running things after me does bring me some relief. 

As long as I can answer the phone I'll continue to do what I can. Again, thank you
