You can ready about his move to Pensacola here.
As some of you may know, my nephew, Jonathan Shepler has Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Jonathan is a huge Komet Hockey fan and loved to play hockey with his little brother, Blake, before the disease took his ability to walk.
On June 5, as part of the MDA lockup, I am being locked up to help raise money for Jonathan and kids like Jon, to be able to go to MDA camp. All the money stays in our community and helps our local MDA offices. Jon has so much fun going to camp every year. Its a place he can be himself and do all the fun stuff that is aimed towards handicap children.
Like the schedule, hate it? What games are you most looking forward to? Looks like a fairly easy travel schedule for the most part.
