Dear friends,

I have put off writing this update, as it is not an easy one for me to write. Sam’s latest scan results have shown significant growth and spreading of his cancer. The cancer has metastases to the brain, liver, both hips, right shoulder, and spine.

Because of the location of the four brain tumors, he is currently undergoing 14 treatments of whole-brain radiation, which will continue for the next two weeks. Sam also has a metastasis tumor in the upper-spinal area which is pressing on a nerve and has caused his left eye to shut completely.

As we walk through these next two weeks of radiation treatment, we covet your prayers, as we are asking God for His Grace & that any side effects would be eliminated.

Once again, Sam has astounded all the doctors involved. His physical just two weeks ago had the Oncologist shaking his head as he proclaimed Sam to be in ‘excellent health’, (with the exception of the cancer!). Although he has to walk with a cane and has lost a considerable amount of weight, his energy level is good and he is not having any serious pain.

Sam has been able to attend all of Kevin’s races. The last race was in New Hampshire. Sam left on that Saturday morning at 3 AM and flew on the Gibb’s Racing corporate plane with the crew. He was there for Kevin’s practice, qualifying and the entire race and flew back home, arriving around midnight. The next morning, he was up and ready to leave for church at the crack of dawn!! He still amazes me and those around him.

Sam has had a couple of opportunities to speak and share what God has been teaching him through this journey, and has been a tremendous blessing to all. He wanted me to share a portion of scripture with you that he feels God has given him for this time. It is taken from Philippians 3:10 from the Amplified Bible:

“ For my determined purpose is that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power out flowing from His resurrection [which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death, in hope . .”

Thank you for continuing to stand with us during this time. We do not understand what all God is doing with us right now, but we want to be faithful to all that He has called us and entrusted to us!!!

We continue to walk in faith . . . believing . . . . as we KNOW that HE IS ABLE!!!

In HIS love & care,

Sam & Ann
