Meet our new friend Brendon!

Attention everyone! I am asking that everyone take the time to read the story of Brendon Shadle. We just recently met Brendon and his mother Melody but we previously had been made aware of his story. When Emily and I heard about this amazing little boy who suffers from similar heart conditions that our daughter Lily had, we wanted to learn more. Brendon also suffers from a Congenital Heart Defect known as Pumonary Atresia but his case is more complicated. Brendon is four years old and has been through a lot in his life, as has his family. Instead of retelling his entire story, I will direct you to a website dedicated to telling Brendon's story: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/brendonshadle
Please take the time to visit his website and learn about this amazing little boy. Once Emily and I learned about what Brendon and his family were going through we decided we wanted to try to help. Today we got the opportunity to meet Brendon and now we want to help even more. Brendon's mom Melody has been working hard to raise money to help deal with the overwhelming medical expenses that have piled up over the last four years. Brendon faces further surgeries in the near future, one that he will need to travel all the way to California for. I want to get the message out about Brendon hoping that others will want to help as well. Please visit his website and read his amazing story. Also, this Saturday, June 14th, there will be a cookout held at McCarthy's Ale House of Avon Lake. The event starts at 5:00pm and tickets cost $20.00 at the door. It will be a night of great food and fun and will be for an important cause. If you come you will be helping raise money to help Brendon and his family. Let's make sure Brendon and his family get all the help that we can possibly give them. Please pass this on to everyone you know!

Thanks!
