Jeremy Mhire, 1:29 "Grace" For Tanner

29.01.2012
10 year old Tanner Lager is suffering from Ewing Sarcoma cancer. His condition is terminal. Tanner is currently being cared for by his 23 year old sister, Savanna. They must travel to St. Louis weekly for experimental treatments that could prolong his life for a few years. Without these treatments, Tanner has only a few short months. Tanner is a fighter and despite his condition, he is upbeat and always has a smile. These experimental treatments and the 3 1/2 hour weekly trips to St. Louis are financially devastating for the young 23 year old and her brother. Their mother is in and out of hospitals, unable to care for Tanner, and the father is not a part of their lives. It is a situation that few of us could fathom. On January 28th, CrossFit SOMO hosted "Grace for Tanner" an event to raise money to benefit Tanner. I was unable to attend the event in person but my heart, my mind, and prayers were on Tanner and Savanna as I did "Grace" at CrossFit Springfield. Tons of CFS members donated money to help Tanner and his sister in their fight against cancer. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your graciousness and your compassion. Huge props as well to Rodney, Nicole, Chase, Leslie and everyone at CrossFit SOMO for being such a blessing to this family! You guys are an inspiration!
