The following newspaper article was published in the Richmond Times Dispatch on July 25, 2004.  When this picture was taken for the paper, it seemed that his 5 year battle with this terrible disease was over. However, between the time the picture was taken and the article was published, Richard was sick again.  Now Richard is fighting a new battle and needs the support and prayers of everyone as he continues his brave and courageous battle.  Please take a minute to say a prayer for Richard and keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers as you go about your daily lives.
