<div>An Update From John
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To everyone who has supported me, shared my story, donated, or simply checked in on me—thank you. Your kindness has meant more than I can ever put into words.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Earlier this year, I underwent back surgery after a serious injury. At the time, we were hopeful the procedure would resolve the issues and get me back on my feet. While the surgery helped in some ways, it has become clear that the problem may not have been fully corrected.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, I continue to struggle with significant pain and mobility issues. I walk with a noticeable limp, and there are times when my leg gives out unexpectedly, causing me to lose my balance and fall. My medical team is currently trying injections and other treatments in hopes of avoiding another operation, but there is a strong possibility that a second surgery will be necessary.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The physical challenges have been difficult, but the financial burden of being unable to work normally while navigating appointments, treatments, and recovery has been just as overwhelming.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many of you know that helping others has always been a part of who I am. I come from a family with deep roots in Park City dating back to the 1880s. For generations, my family served this community as miners, first responders, and public servants. I followed that same path, working as an EMT and always believing that when someone is in trouble, you step forward and help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That belief has never changed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, despite my injury and ongoing recovery, I found myself in a situation where someone fleeing police forced their way into my home. The individual was involved in a domestic violence incident and was armed. Even with a damaged back and limited mobility, I acted to protect myself and others until law enforcement could take over. I don't share that story seeking recognition. I share it because it reflects the values I've lived by my entire life: we protect the people we love, and we protect our communities whenever we can.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No matter where someone comes from, what they look like, or what their background may be, I've always believed they deserve compassion. The intruder listen to my commands and was taken into custody. I had no idea he was running or what he did. The fact he did listen was a big reason I did not shoot. Ive always been taught to save lives, but will also protect lives at any cost.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That same spirit is what makes it difficult for me to ask for help now. But the truth is that I need it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As I continue treatment and face the possibility of another surgery, any support—whether through a donation, a share, or simply keeping me in your thoughts—helps more than you know. Every contribution eases the burden and allows me to focus on healing and getting back to the life I love.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am still fighting. I am still hopeful. And when I am healthy again, I fully intend to continue helping others the way so many of you have helped me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing beside me during one of the hardest chapters of my life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>John
</div>
