Happy Birthday "Ironhead" where ever you are!

This article was originally published in support of Relay for Life. If you have read this before, then I apologize, but please considering donating at least $1 to Make a Wish in the memory of Josiah Herring. In light of several recent events I felt compelled to revisit cancer awareness and have not had the time for a new article. I Promise to have a new article out soon in support of the cause.

Thank you everyone!

Thank you for becoming a fan. Did you know that Georges St-Pierre would like to race Usian Bolt to see who is faster? I read that somewhere and wonder if it is even possible. What do you think?
