Hey guys,every once and awhile, we have a minitrucker get hurt or become ill. and this one hits close to home.
one of my best friends needs your support, his name is ricky. I was the first kid in town that had a mini, and i met him because of it. he loved the truck and almost immediately wanted one for himself. we became good friends, and he even borrowed the truck for prom, so he could show up and lay out. not long after he got his first mini. a 95 dime bodydroped shaved and primered. he has since sold it and planned to build one from scratch.
Ricky got sick about 8 months ago, it started as a head cold. then it was a sinus infection. after months of antibiotics and symptoms getting worse, he left our small town doctors, and went to a bigger city for a second opinion. They told him they think its a staph infection, put him on more antibiotics, and sent him on his way. It still did not let up. and last Thursday he had a biopsy done. the results came back today, and the doctor told him to get down to the hospital now. He has Wegener's disease, and his kidneys are failing.
he starts kemo at 10:00 tonight, and i was hoping to get your support. I'm not asking for money, nor do i know how. he's just a very dear friend. and he needs all the encouragement we can give. I'm not a religious man, but if you are put him in your prayers. or maybe just a good thought.
thanks guys.
