Hello to All,
I'm sending a reminder about the Tractor Drive (Pulling
Together to Cure Cancer) in Nappanee, Indiana next Saturday,
June 14. It is a fundraiser for United Cancer of Elkhart County,
and the funds raised will stay local to help people in our area
who have or are dealing with cancer. A donation is not
mandatory but would be greatly appreciated.
I would like to tell you about the people in the picture. They are
Bob and Juanita Weldy; married 50 yrs., life- long farmers, and
Juanita spent 9 years battling cancer with Bob by her side.
When Bob was restoring the 520, it was ready for paint when
his wife learned that her cancer had returned after a 4 year
remission. So he promptly exchanged the green paint for pink.
Many people from the Johnny Poppers Club helped him
complete the restoration project, as he needed to tend to his
wife's needs. The Weldys and the tractor have been an
inspiration for many in the community. I recently stopped to
see Bob and he showed me the hitch he made to pull the
tractor with the sign that says, "Driver in Heaven," as a tribute
to his lifelong friend and wife.
There are many others in the clubs involved with this drive
who have been affected by cancer. I have chosen to tell you
about Bob because his wound is fresh. Easter Sunday this
year is when the Lord chose to take his faithful servant,
Juanita, home. So if you are not busy next Saturday, June
14th, come on out to Nappanee for the tractor drive. Bring a
tractor or come ride along. There will be wagons for riding in.
Or just come out to pray for all those who are affected by this
harmful disease. There will be a short time of prayer before we
head out on the drive at 10:00 am. All the information you
need about the drive is on the website
nappaneepowerfromthepast.org, or feel free to call me (Rob
Meyers) at (574) 354-7244. I hope to see there. If so, look me
up because I would love to shake your hand.
Thank you,
Rob
