Sean and Kendra

Cartersville is having their Annual Executive Lock Up for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.  This year I was chosen to participate and will be taken to jail on March 9th.  I will be carried off to jail in a squad car, possibly cuffed and taken to get my mug shot.   To get out of jail I must raise a minimum of $2400 to make bail.  Please go to my MDA website and give your donation today to help me get out of jail and help support Muscular Dystrophy and Jerry’s Kids.  Thanks.
