I want to thank the many people who helped with the benefit for me. It was greatly appreciated and unexpected.  First off,  I want to thank the VFW for having the benefit in their building, the many people who donated their time to help put the benefit together, all the donations for the auction, anyone who was able to make it and, last but not least, the 8 Mile Band. 

I appreciate all my family and friends, whether they were able to make it or not. These are the people who have helped me through this journey and will help me to continue to push forward. Thank you for giving me the strength to continue to move forward.
