1st Time Back For Kenny Brimer... zip zingin'

Kenny finally had a chance to roll around last Sunday for the first time since undergoing chemotherapy for his diagnosed leukemia. Jef Hartsel, Sean Riley, Jeremy Strength, and Kenny, cruising around sunny Honolulu. Just the smile on Kenny’s face says it all…

We thank all of those that have donated to Kenny’s fund but one of the most important part of all of this is to find out more about Be The Match, the online site for the National Marrow Donor Program. You can register and see if you can help Kenny directly with a match or for someone else who may benefit from your donation.
