My name is Ryan Yeater. I was diagnosed with bone cancer in the base of my skull and had the tumor removed on August 7, 2008. My friends and family have had two benefit dinners for me and raised close to $5,000 to help my travel expense and pay other bills.

I would like to especially thank all of the volunteers who worked so hard to put on the dinners. This all has been a huge help to my family and I. I would like to also thank the businesses that donated to each of the dinners and that were part of making both the dinners a huge success.

I found out how great of friends I have. When the time of need came everyone chipped in and helped me. I would also like to say a huge thank you to Memories by Lora photography for making a donation. I wish I could list everyone who helped, but I would be afraid of leaving someone out. Again, to all friends, businesses, and the churches that donated, God Bless you all and thanks for everything.

Ryan and Dawn Yeater and family
