As you may have read in the Brainerd Dispatch, Peter has been chosen as an honorary co-chair for the Relay for Life event in Brainerd on Friday, July 27th. You can read the article here (the headline is LIFE’S RELAY). What a nice honor for our little guy.
We all know Peter has one amazing support team and we’d love for you to join us for the event. We will come together as Peter’s People to walk around the track, socialize, and raise money for a good cause. Peter’s People will also provide Peter the strength he needs as he prepares for surgery and continued treatments. The cost is $25 per team member, which includes a Peter’s People t-shirt. If you would like to participate, but cannot make to the event, you may buy a luminary for $10. The luminaries will light up the track and may be in honor of Peter or a cancer survivor, or may be in memory of a loved one. And, of course, you can simply make a donation to the team (contributions go to the American Cancer Society).
The event will be held at the Brainerd High School Athletic Field and it begins at 5:00 PM. More details on the relay are at the event website.
Michelle Alcon (also known as Auntie Meeses) is serving as the team coordinator/coach.
- If you can participate, email Michelle as soon as possible with the number of people you expect to bring. Please include how many adults and children and a guess at t-shirt sizes.
- Print and fill out this form if you are participating or ordering a luminary. Please mail the form with payment by Friday, July 20th. Checks should be made out to Michelle Alcon.
We hope to see you there!
Sorry I cannot be there for the walk … but we will be there in spirit and I am ordering the shirt (I hope); cookbook (can’t wait to try Peter’s favorite egg dish); and luminary to Aunt Meeses. Think of you often and Auntie G keeps us up to date on the constantly changing schedule. Have fun this summer and good luck at your next T ball game.
Peter,
I am unable to attend the Relay for Life, but Drew will be participating with the Brainerd Hockey team this year and I am sure that they have a “special little someone” that they will be thinking of!! I have done the walk in the past honoring survivors that I know and will be very happy to honor you as well! Good luck with all that you have upcoming in the form of doctors visits! We will be thinking of you every step of the way! Take care and enjoy your time playing with your sisters and your friends. Good luck with your T ball games.
Love from The Olson’s

Good luck with your testing today! I am sure that all will be just fine! We’ll be thinking of you here at daycare. Ellie & Kate are with me…. Ell informed me that “mom and Peter are sleepin’ at the cities for 6 nights!” Yes – I know she is teasing! She is so funny… 🙂
Pete, I am so sorry that your team wasn’t able to pull off another win yesterday – but, I guess you can’t win ’em all! Better luck next time!
And to Erika & Ty…. HAPPY 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY! Hopefully at some time today you can do a little celebrating….
With much love and lots of prayers for Peter’s continued success & for many 10’s-of-more-years of wedded bliss to Ty & Erika~

Hi Peter,
I think about you every day and have for many weeks. You really made my day when you let me walk with you at the “Relay for Life”. I was so inspired to be around you. You are one “very special” young man ! It was such a pleasure co-chairing the Relay with you. I wish that I would have sent more jerky with you on your trip to New York. I will be following your progress and when you get back home there will be more waiting for you. I couldn’t believe how well you liked it.
To Ty and Erika, thank you also for allowing Peter to Co-Chair the Relay with me. What a beautiful family ! Stay in touch and I will be checking the progress regularly. God Bless you all.
