WHY WE RIDE

We are riding for our friend and former employee at Enterprise, Don Finnegan.

Don's story . . .

Don had acute pancreatitis in November 2016 with complications due to accidental perforation of his bile duct during one of the procedures. He got septic twice and had to be in and out of procedures and surgeries. The last surgery had the doctor just close up his stomach and the doctor said he does not like to operate on a dead person. We took him home with 3 drains, TPN, 2 IVs for antibiotics, insulin shots, etc. By Gods mercy, with lots of prayers, his body healed. Praise God! Even the doctors were amazed and considered him a miracle. A few months later, he had to have another surgery for an incisional hernia since due to malnourishment, his surgery wounds didn't heal well. On August 31, 2017, Don went for his last surgery and they placed a mesh on his abdominal wall.

The last few months of this year, Don started getting more abdominal pain, lost weight and had distention. After a series of testing, we received the results of Don's last biopsy on May 21st. He tested positive for metastatic pancreatic cancer that spread to his lungs already and is considered stage 4. Surgery is not an option. Appreciate prayers for Gods miraculous intervention, healing for his complete body even now as he did it the last time. We know he is more than able to do it again.
