A dear friend of mine Ken Gardner owner of Custom Lighting, EFX LLC is battling the BIG C. My parents always said if you live long enough you will lose lots of friends before their time. Don’t know how they knew that since my dad died at 52 and my mom at 66. They weren’t even old in my mind. I am 68 and have already lived longer than either of my parents.

Well, I am writing of Ken’s battle for a few reasons. He could use our prayers! He could use words of encouragement. And if any of you know Ken, he was always one of the very first to throw money at any worthy cause…if you have a generous heart and any extra coin in your wallet, he could use some of that financial love thrown his way. His cancer has spread to both lungs and he has been feeling pretty sick, and unable to work as hard as he usually does. His address for cards or donations is 1170 US 1, Ormond Beach, 32174. He will probably kill me for writing of this. There is also a GoFundMe set up for him, but I don’t like giving the Go Fund Me group a piece of the pie. That is just me though!!! Any way you can help, I know would be appreciated. There may be a poker run planned in the fall but that is still months away.

I love you guys and gals on 2 and 3 wheels! Stay hydrated this summer, wear your sunscreen, and make sure you check in with your doctor yearly!!!
