WOW ! Here is the latest. On July 27th we had a huge turn out for the 5K4Kim Walk at Blackwell Forest Preserve. We can not thank everyone enough for participating in this event. The weather was great and everyone enjoyed the walk. Kim and I want to give a special thanks to all of the sponsors who generously donated for the event.

And of course we just can not express our gratitude enough for the ladies who put this all together. We know it took many hours of their busy lives to pull off such a perfect event. Thanks to Jeryl FoulkesValdez, Diane Tyriver Lipuma, Missy Poulos, Julie Foulkes Piel, and Denise Kenston Blaszynski.

The money raised by the walk will be a tremendous help for us with all the past and future medical bills. Again, thanks to everyone for your time and concern for our family.

Many of you say that Kim is an inspiration to you, yet she could never have gotten through the many years of medical problems without all of the phone calls, e-mails, visits and thoughtful gifts from her friends and family. Hopefully she is going through the final phase of the post surgery recovery. The gas bubble that was inflated in her eye to help the healing process is now started to break up and should be totally gone with in a few weeks. We are hoping that after the bubble is gone that she will start to gain better sight and we can get back to a somewhat normal life.

Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers

Steve
