Corn Holin'

This weekend our neighborhood had a fund raiser for an 18 year old boy who lived in our neighborhood who suffered a broken neck and trauma to his spinal cord this summer in an accident in Brazil. There has been an outpouring of activities to raise money for this family who has no health insurance: purchase blue ribbons for the mailbox, wrist bands, a charity swim at the aquatic center where he competed as a swimmer, Chic-a-Fil nite, corn hole and chili-contest this weekend.
So far they raised enough money $71,000 to fly him back on an air-ambulance to the U.S.  Don and Matt teamed up for the corn-hole tourny and came in 4th out of about 22-25 teams!
