Helping friends
By SonnyLong in Helping Hands

I don't know Chelsea Aiken or Chad Ganaway, but I hope to meet them. After reading about their harrowing car wreck last November and especially Chelsea's continuing battle for complete recovery, I learned even more about them after speaking to some of their friends who have organized today's benefit to help the couple defray medical expenses. I know they were supposed to get married today, but the wreck changed that. I know that their friends and co-workers love them enough to put on today's event. That speaks volumes. I encourage you to take a few minutes out of your day to support the cause -- whether it's buying a plate of barbecue or dancing tonight to the sounds of the Scott Taylor Band. Here are the details:
