Michael left behind behind 3 children, his wife, his parents, his brothers, sisters, neices, nephews and many affected friends and co-workers.

I will be walking the 25 miles again this year. This will be my 4th year participating and I urge you to show your support. Every penny counts even if only a small amount.
