Some sad news came our way.....

Last month, Jim's best friend, found a brain tumor. he had fallen from his Jeep and the EMS did an emergency MRI. Where he fell, showed nothing however a tumor he had never felt was highly present.

The amazing doctors at PIT, where he and his awesome wife live, made the decision to remove the entire tumor than just simply performing a biopsy. The operation was what they call a success however, they did biopsy the tumor and have found two very unique forms of cancer. Because this removal surgery is never one hundred percent, the doctors last night made a drastic decision for him to undergo one full year of chemotherapy to ensure no traces remain and no new ones form. As we all can understand chemo treatments a debilitating. Unlike radiation, the body goes through a torturous regime of cycles, he will of course lose his hair, and will be unable to work.

I ask all of you in this time of craziness in our own lives to think of Griff and Debbie in your thoughts and prayers. No young newlyweds should have to go through this. Likewise no 27 year old man should experience this when his life has just begun. We are now unsure whether Griff will be strong enough to make it to our wedding. The treatments will begin on Friday and we are just praying for his safety and comfort. This of course is also very difficult for my fiancé as he has never had to deal with illness like this.

Thank you for letting me share this with you all.
