Sometimes you don't realize you inspire us all...

How many people in your life do you meet and honestly think this person makes me want to be a better human being... I have talked about my friend Stillar... But now I am going to share his courageous story and ask for your help....

Jason was this cool kid... Always friendly, always funny and devastatingly handsome. (He can pay the $5 bucks later for the last comment) I personally can't remember not knowing him. Small town Ontario.  Practical joker, friend, stand up guy. Now, this beautiful creature took a liking to him, and it all makes sense now but at the time it probably didn't, kidding. His future bride Stacey... Sweet, charming, positive.... And much the same as Jason, I can not remember not knowing her either... Once again small town Ontario. The two got married began their life, and their beautiful boy Hunter came along. Two year later devastating news, Stacey was diagnosed with cancer. There wasn't anything Jason wouldn't do to try and make his wife better. Their positive attitude and love for one anothergot them   through these tough times. Sadly, Stacey lost her battle on my birthday in December. Jason and Hunter's life changes dramatically.

With Stacey's memorial fund, Jason came up with the idea to build a splash pad in Lions Park in the
 town of Sundridge, our home town. He has worked tirelessly to get this accomplished, town counsel approval, silent auctions, fundraising, canvassing, etc. Doing all of this while working full time job, looking after his home, and raising an equally devastatingly handsome young boy...


So here is my super huge favor! If your reading this, clearly your are on my facebook. If you notice there are a bunch of posting that say Splash for Stacey-Kraft celebration tour 2013. Please go there and like the page :) This could be a huge cash flow into such a wonderfully thought out project...

And Jason, we have been friends for a long time, gone down some rough roads and supported each other through out... You, my friend have me in complete awe.... Stacey would be so touched by everything you have done and continue to do... Xxoo
