My son Zach and a group of his Ravenwood High School buddies met on our back porch this week to shave their heads as a sign of love and support for their classmate and great friend, Sean Karl, who is undergoing chemotherapy treatments.

Sean is a star tennis player who has won the last three state AAA championships and is committed to playing for University of Tennessee tennis team.

A Facebook page, Pray for Sean Karl, has been created to express support. And that support has come from all over the world. Sean recently received a message of encouragement on youtube from one of the world’s top tennis players, Roger Federer.

Stay strong Sean – and I know the guys would have loved if you could been there for the head shaving festivities!
