Life-'Long' Friend

While visiting my folks in MO, I had to make a visit to one of my best friends since 6th grade, whom I've made lots of good memories with, Shaun Long. He's been battling cancer for well over a year now, but hasn't given up....and won't. Below is a picture of him and his 4-year old daughter Kendle. Although his appearance might not be the same, his personality hasn't changed much. I was happy to see that when I went to see him. Shaun attended my wedding 4 years ago, soon after Kendle's birth, as one of my groomsmen. Those of you know him, please be in prayer for a miracle to take place in his body and for his continued growth toward Christ.
Shaun's mother-in-law is raising money for cancer research by organizing a golf tournament at Columbia Country Club (in August I think). They're looking for players, donations, and sponsors if you're able and interested. http://www.longstrokesforacure.com/ (under construction I think)

Oh, boy! I tried to prepare myself! he does look good all things considered. We've had Shaun on our prayer list at church for quite some time now! Continuing to pray! Thanks for the update!
