Went and made a jump today with my good friend Steve Osborne. Steve is battling AML. I haven't been officially cleared to jump but I don't know when or if I'll get another chance to jump with Steve. For those that pray please say a prayer and those that send vibes please send lots of them as he is going in for a bone marrow transplant or hoping to. He has a issue that is holding it up. Why I got to make the jump today as he was already supposed to be in Huntsman Cancer Center. Anyway the jump wasn't special other then I got to jump with Steve and I got to fly a navigator for the first time since my a license (my rigs are a year out if date) here is me and Steve O..

I haven't posted this year about our L&L society fundraiser yet but we just had out big raffle for our industry and we went over the $9000 mark for the first time in 7 years of raising money. Our total raised in 7 years we are over 45k my wife has run the Disney half the Honolulu marathon the Vegas century ride which was last year and was absolutly brutal. She finished the race when more 30% quit because of 20-30 mph head and cross winds and 90+ degrees but the team in training members that thought of quitting at the 90 mile mark were all taking and trying. To decide to keep going. Me and our pup walked over to my wife and the rest and reminded them what she would say during the training for her marathon. No matter how hard it was it would never be as and as chemo. When the crossed the finish line everyone was gone except the team in training members. Nothing except watching my children being born was as emotional powerful as watching my wife cross that finish line. Me and our pup chased her all day sometimes driving in front of her to let her draft off my truck when she was going straight up with head winds or when we parked and walked a 1/2 mile hill with her or we the course director tried to get her to quit or the ambulance driver who told her the editor of biking magazine rode the rescue truck back in. What she does is amazing compared to my part. All I do is beg beat up and manipulate my friends customers and suppliers to donate money and items to the L&L society. Of anyone would like to donate to our fundraiser let me know and I'll send you a link. Our like our company on Facebook superior cleaning solutions in Orem Utah and you can find the link. Ok didn't mean to turn this into a fund raising post but there you have it. If you can spare $5-10-100 you will be making a difference. The L&L society is probably the only non profit that actually gives most of the money to its cause giving 70% or more of what they collect to research instead of administration fees.

Posted from my iPhone while my wife is driving so excuse the typos and grammar well the typos anyway the grammar is my fault
