The kind of Man Grandpa John is.....
My first introduction into the family was at a small BBQ gathering. In this family a small BBQ is 30 people give or take a few.
After meeting everyone, I spent a bit of time talking with John, clearly the patriarch of the family and protector of his oldest Granddaughter, Tiffany. We talked sports, cars etc., guy stuff.
After only a short time of being around, John welcomed me to the family. He could have made it difficult for me, but he didnt. He accepted me with open arms and as one of his own. And even more, he welcomed my entire family to be part of his. My role was clear, take care of his granddaughter with the love, honor, and grace that he gave me.
I am proud and lucky to call him my Grandpa too.

Greetings Family and Friends
First I want to thank all of you for helping us support our Grandparents this past year with everything from prayers to financial donations, as Grandpa John focused on his bout with cancer.
He did well for awhile but the cancer has spread through other organs and the fight is getting more difficult. His body will not accept any more chemo therapy but is receptive to antibodies.
Because he is strong and proud he doesn't ask for anything from us, just to visit and see his grandkids and great grandkids. But we know its emotionally and financially difficult for them.
He is scheduled for one final antibody treatment which is very expensive, even with insurance it is still $500.
This saturday at 7:30 amI'm rallying my friends and family that are able to help support by offering a Fitness shred boot camp (Primal Justice Training Center) with ALL proceeds going to pay for the treatment. - Our Goal is $500
I wish I could do more, but this is what I CAN do. And in life, doing what you can when its time to step forward is what its all about.
Grandma, Grandpa, and their family seriously had teary eyes at the generosity of you at the last boot camp, not really understanding why people would help who don't know them. I didn't even have to ask if they would help someone they don't know, because Ive seen them do it without hesitation, its what makes them and you special.
If you are not able to attend for the workout and still want to help with any size donation, please click this link
If you have a PayPal account, you can log in to donate. If not, at the bottom is a donate button for easy donations.
On behalf of my family, I sincerely thank you for your continued amazing generosity and caring.
Be Fit and Well
