What's New...



I talked to Judy today and she said Mike is feeling good! He's tired but that is to be expected with what all he is going through. Mike is down to 139 pounds now. That is a huge difference from what we are used to seeing Mike weigh.

Judy had a visit today from Misty, Mike's niece. She came to pick up her basket that she bought. Judy said they had a nice talk and it was great seeing her.

Saturday was the "Ride for Eternity". Money raised went to the Crossbearers Youth Ministries and to Mike. Rose from Crossroads Church said:

"It was a great sight to see all the bikes heading out on their ride with our own Bill Elliott bringing up the rear in his pick-up truck with the American flag waving from his tailgate."



There were lots of baked goods and it turned out to be a great day for all!

Mike and Judy's son, Mikie, is coming home on Thursday and then Friday night the whole family will be together at Chris' house for Justin's birthday.


The fundraising is going pretty good for Mike! The family has sold about 37 baskets to date and Michelle is waiting for the second shipment to come in to deliver!

The spaghetti dinner benefit is coming together and Bill and Judy's aunt, Alma, and Francis, who both do the spaghetti dinners at the nursing home in town. They offered to come out and walk Lori & I through everything they do for their spaghetti dinners. I have never done a spaghetti benefit dinner before, so we are very grateful to them for offering to help us. The church Bill, Logan and I attend is letting us use their facilities to host the event so we are very thankful to them as well.


Anyone wanting tickets for the dinner, or a basket, please email me at fightformike@hotmail.com and I will hook you up! If you would like tickets to sell you can contact me about that also!

Please keep Mike in your prayers!
