If you live in the Eastern Idaho/Western Wyoming/Southern Montana/Northern Utah areas (sounds like a wide range of locations, but for us locals we know it's all within a 90 minute drive) consider helping out a great cause while updating those family pictures or head shots of yours!
My friends' father, Kenny, has stage 4 prostate cancer. His doctor has approved and he's been accepted into the Provenge program in Salt Lake City. This is treatment that is out of trial. Unfortunately, Kenny's insurance has denied payment to any of its insureds and therefore will not approve Kenny's treatment. Kenny's family is trying to raise $100,000.00 to fund his treatment. Kenny started another round of chemo on Monday to help give him some additional time to find the funding.
To help in the little way that I can I am offering a one day mini photo shoot in the Idaho Falls, Idaho area on Saturday, November 20th! All proceeds will go to Kenny. Click on the flier for more details about scheduling your appointment!
And if you don't live in the area but could help by spreading the word, please take a moment to do one of two things (or both!). 1. Follow this link to a Facebook page set up on Kenny's behalf and pass the information for the shoot along. 2. "Like" the benefit page and suggest it to your friends as well. Kenny's family has a marketing idea that will help generate some additional funds but they need to have 500 followers on Facebook before they can accomplish this.
Please keep Kenny and his family in your prayers and thoughts.
And remember... always hold the ones you love just a moment longer... you truly never know when you'll have to say goodbye for the last time.
