I think I am a little crazy to be doing this, but there is reason to my madness. I've known Mike Freed for almost 10 years now. He's been a friend to me and my family and has also been my Life Group leader and a workout partner on occasion.  He is such a giving person and has a heart of a giant.

Thank you in advance for your help.
