Sheila is doing well in her

Sheila is doing well in her recovery. She is in a walking cast now and has recently made a trip back to Kansas with Dave to visit some family she hadn't seen since the accident. Her benefit is being held at the Chaska American Legion this Sunday beginning at 3 p.m.

Sheila's story of survival is garnering attention well beyond the confines of Minnesota. We've received not only calls from local media on this but also from the National Enquirer and the Montel Williams Show.

I got to see Sheila last weekend. She looks so full of joy and happiness. I love her strength and ability to get better and move on. I also heard she's in a walking cast now, so I can't wait to see her walking around. She is an amazing and strong woman, and I am very proud to have her as a friend.

Hi Lester - I will make sure
