All about Grant
Grant is from Omaha and has two amazing parents (Kent and Lori) and a brother (Andrew) who is his best friend. "I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my family. They saved my life as I overcame a horrible trial with Epstein Barr Virus where I nearly lost my way of life. God gave me a second chance at life and I want to use that to serve others and show them the love of Christ each and every day." Get to know more about Grant!

*Mikal (the web content person) is already disappointed in these answers. But there's still some hope!
**This is the safe and responsible answer. Hope lives.
***This Canadian-born web content person is beginning to really question the sanity of Americans. Where I come from, Puppy Chow is a dog food...
****Mikal no longer has words. Only bitter dismay.
