Please send your thoughts and prayers to this courageous young man.
Very close to my time Quote: Over the last year i have been battling one of the rarest fastest growing types of cancer, Aveolar rabdomyosarcoma. unfortunately things have taken a turn for the worst and i have tumors growing faster than my vette vs. a pedal bike. i found and got my dream vette and joined this forum. i got a 2003 zo6 torch red with mod red interrior. but onto why i really wanted to write this post to say thank you to all who have been nothing but helpful and so inciteful with anything that i have had a question about. unfortunately i didnt get to attend any meets with the group but could only imagine how awesome it would be with this great forum. i am within my last month at tops here on earth and to me i beleive everything happends for a resason and theres a reason i got my vette and got hooked up with the forum. I am wanting to turn my vette over to my dad and hopefully he will start using my screenname on here and get joined up with you! theres one of our family friends im also trying to have hookup with the forum. i asked my dad to at least get on here once to type up a in memoriam post through his eyes to really show what i showed and loved through my vette. I am from columbus, OH and have had some really good newspaper articles and little clips wrote up on me over my year with the columbus blue jackets and oppurtunities that has made my last year quality of time amazing. my dad and uncle have a blog they have been keeping up if anyone is interested its www.teamsalmons.com Again, thanks to all. I love this forum and love my vettes and all vettes. Thanks Ryan Salmons Mike. |

Very cool post. I guess there's really no other good option but to enjoy what time you have left and share it with others.
 to Ryan for his courage. I hope others follow his example. |

Very brave and inspiring, indeed. We have a young guy at work who is battling cancer for the 3rd time - we are all keeping our fingers crossed that his next scan will be encouraging.

One thing is for certain . We all have to go. Some of us will make the ultimate sacrifice in service to others. Some will have time to plan and others will go in a split second. Quality of life over quantity. Acceptance over fear. Ryan is a fine example to all of us. May he find peace today ,tomorrow and in the here-after. Amen.

Wow that's an amazing post. Best wishes to Ryan and his family for sure! Reading posts like this certainly puts things into perspective.
My mother died very suddenly and unexpectedly last month. Really does make you appreciate how valuable our time here is. |

Wow. Brave doesn't cover it. Resigned, perhaps, but his courage is beyond mere bravery.
What a special young man. The very best that humanity can bring and it is stolen from us too soon. I hope that future stem cell research can lead to treatments and cures for these types of diseases. My heart goes out to you, Ryan. Whether you can see our words of hope or not, they are real and they are being shared on some higher plane, of that I am sure. |

It certainly does. I kept thinking about this exceptional young man all day yesterday. As Bogus said, the best humanity has to offer, taken for too soon. We should all learn from his example and live life to the fullest, because it could all be gone in an instant. So sorry to hear about your Mom. Prayers are with you and your family.. :angel7: My wife lost both of her parents recently. Well, a few years ago, but it still seems like yesterday. Her Mom on April 5, 2005 and her Dad on April 5, 2006... |
