Run/Walk for Steve Edwards

On Saturday a Ride/Walk was put on by some amazing friends for our good friend/family, Steve Edwards. Steve was diagnosed with Stage 4 malignant Melanoma Cancer in January. Its been a fast 2 1/2 months of tears, sadness, Faith, and Hope for the Edwards family and everyone that loves them. Steve just completed his first round of Chemo on Monday and has a P.E.T scan next week to see if the treatment has worked. He is such an example of Faith, Hope, and a POSITIVE attitude! We pray every night for him and his family that the treatments will work and that he can just be blessed with peace and comfort. The Bike ride/Walk was held at a local Park first thing in the morning. We didn't plan very well and didn't have our stroller so the kids had to suck it up and walk and ride on Daddy and my shoulders. And some much needed help from Zach at the end. The man of the hour rode his bike, so when the kids started to complain we told them "If Steve can do it, SO CAN YOU!" We still had tears, but we made it the whole 3.5 walk! We just feel so privileged to have participated and to have Steve in our lives! We love you Stevie, Nannie, Zach, Meag, Steph, and Sophie! You are always in our thoughts and prayers! The "Man of the Hour"

Wow, I had no idea that Steve and his family are facing this. It's inspiring to see how much faith and hope he has and seems to inspire others with.
