Patrick Hardy is one of those people who everybody knows. He’s an outgoing guy and always in the middle of everything. Over the last several years, he has been a big supporter of St. Judes, and has helped to raise millions of dollars for them. In the most cruel twist of fate, Patrick has now been diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer. He is still fighting, but is on hospice at home and his wife and kids are taking good care of him. His wife has decided to stay home with him instead of going back to teaching this year. We are trying to help raise money so that they can do this comfortably. We are also throwing a big benefit with a lot of great musicians, and live and silent auctions on August 20th at the Grouse Room in Downtown Lafayette.
