Sometimes I havent even met the people I grow to care about....and - TopicsExpress



          

Sometimes I havent even met the people I grow to care about....and John Flite was one of them. Many months ago I started following his story via Jared Wiener (who would occasionally post about Johns ongoing battle with cancer...and because I would like or comment on Jareds post John friended me and we exchanged a few emails about his struggles). My communication would always be about how astounded I was that he could be so positive no matter what the circumstances....I told him he should be writing a book. My connection to Jared and John is through jiu-jitsu. A sport that seems so big but the true culture of the people who have been involved in it for any extensive amount of time is pretty small. Its not uncommon to know people through other people....so I feel very fortunate to have followed John on facebook and read his posts updating his condition sometimes daily. Sad end to the story is that John recently died (which was shocking b/c they thought he was going to overcome the cancer after a recent bone marrow transplant). John leaves behind a wife and children....who are struggling.....Which leads me to helping Wally..... the family dog (Wally) ran out of the house and was hit by a car shortly after John died....and now Wally has extensive medical bills that the family can not afford. I ask anyone who has anything to give to please consider donating.....Please. Make it an early Christmas gift to a deserving family who is going through a really tough time. Please share with anyone who might help. Thank-you! Sheri
