In April we found out that a teacher, colleague, friend and all around great guy Neil Paarmann was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia. He is young, has a extremely healthy lifestyle and tons and tons of support, I pray that this is more then enough to help him to beat this.

| Showing our support for Paarmann! |
Today Jon and I, along with 250 some others, participated in the Paarmann Fun Run/Walk and ran and walked to show our support and raise money.

It was great to see so many people out to support Paarmann, he and his family have touched so many lives including Jon, Avery’s and mine.

| Paarmann Supporters |
Paarmann was at the Run/Walk, and in his typical style, cheering the runners and walkers on.... We were all there to cheer him on and show our support to someone who has given and done so much for so many and there he was cheering for us....typical.

I wanted nothing more to run over and hug him and make sure he knew that we were here for him and his family and anything they needed to just let us know, but I didn’t with Avery having Hand-Foot-and –Mouth this past week, I wasn’t going to chance sharing it with him. It was a great day, with a great turn out. It could be a long road but he’s a fighter and you can’t keep him down for long.
