"No Fear Here" Walk

This past Saturday was an amazing day! It seemed like back in January when Tim was diagnosed with cancer and a neighbor came to us and wanted to organize a charity walk for Tim, that June would take forever to get here. Well, June 25th came and went way too fast! Throughout the 4 hour event, we had carnival games, bounce houses, a rock wall, a dunk tank, a boutique, Chick-fil-A sandwiches, entertainment and of course the walk!

(The less-than-one-mile walk around Butterfield Park in Herriman)

(We had a few celebrities show up - Reno Mahe, BYU's "Cosmo" and "Torch" from the Blaze. Here is Tim, Reno, and Austin-a friend from Nevada.)

(Tim's favorite activity was the rock wall. He spent all day on that thing when he wasn't eating or watching the girls dance! If you look close, you can see a body on the left side of the rock wall. That is Tim!)

(Tim climbing alongside one of his friends, Mik, Tim climbed all 4 courses and made it all the way to the top on 3 of them!)

(This is why Tim is SUPER AMAZING! Nothing is going to stop this kid!!)

(Family that came for the walk - 27 of us in all! And only 4 of them did not stay at the house!)

I can't thank EVERYONE enough for the wonderful day! I would love to list everyone, but there were so many who helped out in so many ways. Just know how truly grateful I am for each and every one of you. Because of you, the event was awesome and unforgettable! Tim had the best day since January 14th and felt like a "normal" kid again. All of your time and effort will not be forgotten. Thank you so much!
There is one person who deserves to be recognized in this post-AMY! She is the neighbor who unselfishly volunteered to organize this event, and all the other events for Tim. She is amazing and did an fantastic job. Her heart is pure and would do anything for anyone! Amy, thank you so, so much for all you've done for Tim and our family! Love ya:)
