Extra prayers for our Kayaker and cancer fighter



2019-03-27 - Adair County, KY - Photo from family collection.
It was an honor to share hugs this evening with the official ColumbiaMagazine.com Kayaking reporter and incredible niece, Mitzi Bault. She got some good test numbers today but she is really, really, really tired from the heavy trial medicines and the extreme challenges that come with battling and surviving cancer for the third time in a decade. It's a good night to put a huge push on prayers for Mitzi's strength and healing. She is thankful for all the caring prayers, for everyone who is checking in and she always gives thanks for her Ricky, "her rock." This personal note is shared to ask for more prayers for her healing so she can get stronger and get back to posting her positive life-affirming messages at the end of the day, always with her signature, "...Lot’s of love from McKinley Lane...'Nite." This is one of my favorite photos of her taken by her friends who join her in her favorite sport, Kayaking on Green River. - Linda Waggener
