Here is a scoop on the recipient for this year:

This is a little about SGT Keith Hale, the recipient of this years Mikefest donations. Thank you for writing this TiAnna – MR

SGT Keith Hale joined the Army after 9\11 to stand up for the country he loves. He has been married to his wife TiAnna for 10 yrs and they have 3 amazing kids Zach, Kaley and Nathan who is autistic. Keith 1st deployed with the 1/115th Shelbyville in 2005 for 15 months to TQ, Iraq, where he was a scout truck driver. His 2nd deployment was with the 278th HHT RFS to Mosul, Iraq and was now a truck commander for the scout truck (scout trucks go out in front of the convoy). Over the deployments there were many close calls. In June 2010, he was having some issues with dizziness and vomiting but he would push through to continue the mission. On June 5th, they were coming into FOB Spiecher there was a wreck and a lot of confusion. He fell from the back of the MRAP and received a brain injury and spinal nerve injury that caused damage to his right leg. He still carries the nickname deadleg. He still has many uphill battles, medically speaking, but will continue to soldier up. SGT Keith Hale medically retired on February 27th 2013.

Mikefest is a yearly event that has been created by Byron and Melissa Russell in remembrance of Michael Charles Russell. He passed away while they were on vacation at  Disney World on a ride.  He had an non-diagnosed heart condition.  Instead of mourning his loss, they now celebrate life each year by remembering him through this fundraiser for a different charity each year.

We would appreciate your support and prayers for this function to be a success.

Thank You for Hearing my plea.
