Hey gang here is the update for this week!! Well we got a really big boost Saturday night from a very good friend of mine and friends her amazing groups of Angel Hands and Children and the Earth!! They held a fund raiser for the two groups and I was invited to go as a guest of Ms. Deb Donoviel Harper to a casino night and banquet. I was excited to go and help her two great organizations. What I didn't know, is she said we have a celebrity with us, and announced that I was selected to be on the Adaptive Bobsled team and I was going to Canada to represent the United States in a bobsled competition. She asked me to come up and explain about the selection I was honored to explain about the selection and she even asked me to announce my gofundme account, website and blog. I was extremely happy that she had recognized me like that to the group. But after I was done explaining I went to leave and she said no Ken you need to stay here cause the friends of the two groups have raised $500.00 to go towards your trip to Canada!!! I was overwhelmed and very appreciative of their kind donation, a little embarrassed, but honored at the same time! To date that is around $1250.00 that has been donated of the approximate $1500.00 I was hoping to raise for the trip to Canada!!! I can't thank you enough for all that have helped me make this dream come true!! I never in a million years would have ever thought that I would be able to possibly represent the United States of America in competition as a 50 year old!! You're only as young as you feel or is that as stupid as you feel?? Either way I'm going to Canada Baby!!!! Now if you're wondering, yes I could still use some help with the remaining balance and unforeseen expenses for Canada and the future trips to Europe, so if you could, please go to my gofundme account under bobsled fees and donate or you can contact me directly at 801-458-7981.
I know a lot of you click in to see news about my bowling but I guess I have become a two sport athlete and right now the Bobsled and winter is kinda the primary sport right now. Not that I'm not still bowling, because I am, or at least I'm trying!! :-) The lanes have changed the shot on me and it has kinda confused me a bit, or at least that's my excuse!! Me and the Grantman are still competing with him consistently kicking my butt!! I think he has won the last five weeks in a row!! I think someone needs to practice and his name is not Grant!! :-) Well Grant shot 157 120 147 for a 424 to my pathetic 126 106 131 for a 363, kinda crushed me to say the least!! Good bowling buddy! Well gang got to go until next Wednesday for the update and please if you can help please, do I appreciate you all!!
Ken
