Organiser's description
SCHRADER STRENGTH
KEVIN WAS RECENTLY DIAGNOSED WITH LEUKEMIA AFTER COMPLETING A ROUTINE WORK PHYSICAL. HE WAS IMMEDIATELY ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL DUE TO THE AGGRESSIVE NATURE OF HIS DIAGNOSIS AND REMAINED THERE FOR 6 WEEKS TO UNDERGO AGGRESSIVE TREATMENT AND FURTHER TESTING. ALL OF THIS COMES AFTER SPENDING 6 WEEKS IN THE NICU WITH CAPRI WHO WAS BORN 7 WEEKS EARLY AND ONLY 9 MONTHS AGO.
SCHRADER STRENGTH IS WHAT HAS DEFINED KEVIN THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE. KEVIN HAS ALWAYS DEMONSTRATED QUALITIES THAT SET THE EXAMPLE FOR ANY MAN AND EVEN MORE SO IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY. HE TAKES THE PUNCHES AND TACKLES THEM HEAD ON SO THAT OTHERS WONT HAVE TO. THEY SAY GOD GIVES HIS TOUGHEST BATTLES TO HIS STRONGEST WARRIORS, AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A BATTLE KEVIN WILL WIN.
PUTTING OTHERS FIRST AND HIS WILLINGNESS TO HELP ANYONE HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEVS MINDSET. HAVING DEDICATED HIS LIFE TO SERVICE BY SERVING IN THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE, AND NOW WITH THE DELAWARE STATE POLICE, HE HAS SHOWN HIS DEDICATION TO PROTECTING AND SERVING OUR COUNTRY AND COMMUNITY, SO NOW WE ASK YOU TO HELP A MAN WHO HAS HELPED SO MANY. THEY SAY IT TAKES A VILLAGE, SO LETS COME TOGETHER COLLECTIVELY AND DO FOR HIM AS HE HAS DONE FOR SO MANY OTHERS.
