No Longer "Secret Santa"

A 58 year old man who was known for many years as the Kansas City "Secret Santa" had revealed himself after recently being diagnosed with the dreaded disease esophageal cancer. The following is a qoute from an article written by Lynn Franey of the Kansas City Star: KC's Secret Santa revealed...

"For 26 years, the man Kansas City knows as Secret Santa has freely given away money — $100 bills by the handful — to hundreds of down-on-their-luck folks.

"He never has told them who he is. Instead, he has remained anonymous, an unnamed Jackson County businessman thrilled to share the joy of a little extra cash at the holidays.

"But things have changed.

"He has cancer, and this year is probably the last for a 'sleigh ride'."

Click here to find out who he is and read more about his incredible experience which led him to give away more than $1.3 million in Christmas cash for many years, but sad to note that he may be losing his battle with cancer.

Folks, let us hope & pray he can successfully fight this challenge of his life so he can continue to do good for his fellow man.
