Dear Friends and Family,
As many of you know, Jared Lucas was able to receive a kidney transplant on March 29, 2011. The surgery and recovery went much better than expected and Jared has been able to enjoy life with his family more than he ever thought possible. However, as he was approaching his two year transplant anniversary, things changed.
Over the past few months, Jared had been feeling all of his newfound energy slip away. After many doctor visits where nothing was found that would explain why Jared was so sick, on April 12th time seemed to stop as he and his wife were told Jared has an aggressive neuro-endocrine carcinoma that had spread to his liver. Jared spent that weekend at home with his family, preparing to fight, getting ready to send this bear into hibernation.

Thanks for sharing your photos, Jared. Kim is excited about using them for his paintings.
Kim and I are so happy to know that you are able to enjoy your family and time at Triple Creek. I wish we had known about your fund last year - we had no idea! You and your family are an inspiration and we are pleased and proud to know you and enjoy your work.

I've been getting updates from Tammie each week. Sounds like everything went well and you both continue to improve day by day. We'll be praying that they continue that way for many, many, MANY years.

So happy to hear that you are scheduled and wishing you all the best. As I'm up in the Seattle area every once in a while, let me know if I can bring you anything or just stop by for a visit.
