Shauna Beardsley was diagnosed in February 2004 with stage 4 lung cancer that spread to her brain in 3 places. She is currently battling cancer with radiation and chemotherapy.

We held a benefit for Shauna in 2004, and it was an incredible success, both artistically and as a benefit event. We want to extend our sincere thanks to so many people - The Arnold Eagles club for loaning us their hall, the Dream Center for some great BBQ, Joyce Meyer Ministries for all their support in the form of volunteers AND donations, and all the bands that performed - The Bottoms Up Blues Gang, Jim Mills out of Memphis, the Rich McDonough band - joined by Kim Massie, the Blue River Canyon Bluegrass band, and Phat noiZ, all very talented musicians who volunteered their time to perform. There was also a Martial Arts demonstration presented by the Bushido World Karate Association.

We know there are countless others we owe thanks to, such as Fox 2 news, KDHX radio, the Healthy Planet newspaper, the husband and wife clown team of 'Flashbulb and Snapshot' for entertaining the kids, Matt of Joyce Meyer Ministries for working the microphone so well during the raffles, Steve Robertson for handling the bank, and Doc and Dianna Mestman - Doc for the band emcee duty, and Dianna for capturing it all with her camera work.

Above all, Shauna's sister Meegan and mother Jill, you are absolutely the best! We know we're leaving someone out, but you know who you are, as do we. Thanks again!

Dave & Shauna Beardsley
