Jonah King HELMET DRIVE June 25th 2016...we NEED your help!!!
Hey all
As many of you may
know the young man who donated the liver to Ray-Jonah King- his family
holds a helmet drive each year in Jonah's honor- to raise awareness and
provide helmets to kids who receive bikes, skateboards, scooters,
etc...helmet safety.
If you would like to donate a
helmet/s and or cash/gift card for Ray and I to purchase helmets to take
with us we are HAPPY to take a load of donations!
Last
year we were able to take 19 helmets with us to donate (5 more than we
had the previous year before) We would like to top last years number
again- taking more than 19-
Jonahs event will be June 25th
to celebrate his life and his legacy he leaves behind to others through
his donation. Jonah's date of passing was June 12th and his birthday
June 28th so his family each year chooses this weekend to celebrate his
life and raise awareness.
So on this date 4 years ago Ray wasn't too long out of surgery and beginning on a new path with a new, young, healthy liver.
If
you are unable to help, we ask that you just keep the King family in
your thoughts and prayers. June is a hard month for them for many
reasons. Pray for their strength, peace in knowing Jonah is happy and
smiling down on them daily and for their hearts to be flooded with
happiness in place of sadness. Pray that this years helmet drive is even
more successful than years past and that they can continue to raise
awareness to save others with helmet safety and organ donation.
Thank
you friends and family! We will receive donations/cash/gift cards
through next Friday June 24th. If you have any questions feel free to
call or text Ray or I Thanks all!
Ray and Janet
**PS
Ray continues to heal and do well. He returns for a follow up visit to
Duke on June 23rd and will still hopefully be on track to be released to
work July 1st. Will keep you updated after next weeks visit.
