Fundraiser for Kelton Hunter, August 9th. Saturday

Post by Daddy Franks Restaurant »

On Friday, August 1st, our Nephew, 9 year old Kelton Hunter was diagnosed with Leukemia. Kelton, so far, has had a Spinal Tap, Bone Marrow Biopsy, and had a port put in for Chemo and Blood draws. He is responding very well to his treatments and is being a trooper through it all. He has to have Chemotherapy at Devos Children's Hospital in Grand Rapids ( on an out-patient basis ) every Monday for the next 9 months with at least 4 more hospitalizations during that time. His prognosis is good, but it's going to be a long haul _ the Doctors already have a 3 year treatment plan in place.

So to help the Family:
Ryan & Randi Hunter( parents)
Mary Delamater (Green) Grandmother

Ben and I, (with lots and family and friends to help), are hosting a Fundraiser Saturday August 9th, 11am to 5ish....

In the Yard of Daddy Franks, under the Tent, there will be
Hot dogs,& Brats, cooked on the Grill, Chips, Drinks.
Your Donation is appreciated! All sale will be given to the Family to help with there expenses of getting Kelton the best care he deserves.

Thank You, Kathie & Ben

Thank you so very much to Ben, Kathie, all the helpers, and to all who donated. Your generosity and well wishes brought me to tears. There are definitely no bigger hearts to be found than those on Beaver Island. Kelton has a long road ahead of him, but he is a trooper and WE can do this! Much love from the Grandma!
