Help  Brad Get Back On His Feet


Our friend and family member Brad Rippetoe has been diagnosed with Addison's Disease, a debilitating auto-immune condition that has resulted in indefinite hospitalization. Brad has lost strength and movement, with a long road of recovery in front of him.             

Despite his very serious illness, Brad is in good spirits and will be working hard to rehabilitate and walk again over the next few months.

The Rippetoe's Have Touched Our Lives in Many Ways 
Brad has been there for all of us over the years, coaching our kids, behind-the-scenes at Glenwood Pool, at St. John's High School and St. John the Evangelist. 

The Rippetoe's have brought so many of us together. Let's come together now for Brad and Valerie. We can make a difference.

Please make a contribution to offset Brad's medical expenses in support Valerie, Ryan, James, Jackie and Dillon. Brad is currently on unpaid leave from his job and will be unable to return to work in the foreseeable future.

Brad and Valerie are grateful for the outpouring of well wishes and offers of help during this time of crisis.
