Story
It's time to support Team Thornton. The time has come for Kevin's heart to have a tune up. He will be undergoing heart surgery tomorrow, August 1st at Wake Forest. I believe that sometimes we are reluctant to share personal things because it is a way to deal with our internal emotions. I know that this news may come as a surprise to some. In the past 16 months Kevin has navigated prostate cancer and now a surgery which will allow him to enjoy more miles on his bike, walks with Bonkers and Erica, and dad jokes with Braedy. His road to recovery may be long but with our support, we can help Kevin heal with delicious meals and allow Erica and Braedy to be the best nurses they can be. In the short term, I am trying to organize meals 4 times per week to support the family. In that time, Erica will begin a new semester and Braedy will begin a busy fall as a junior who is taking college classes and playing tennis. Taking care of dinners is one way we can help. Please feel free to share this page with anyone who might want to help Kevin and family. If you are unable to support with a meal, Kevin, Erica and Braedy would greatly appreciate positive thoughts and prayers!
Special Notes
It would be most helpful if meals could be: heart healthy and nutrient dense, lean meats, veggies, fruits, and/or green salads. If you are looking for a meal idea, check out recipes at the 100 days of Real Food website. Team Thornton likes the following Greensboro restaurants: Mythos Grill, Hops Burger Bar, Core Life, Cava and Chopt. Cava and Chopt have digital gift cards available. Reto's Kitchen in Greensboro has weekly meals offered on Wednesdays and Fridays that look like a healthy option. However, they need to be picked up. Please leave meals on the front porch - in the cooler but please DO NOT ring the door bell. Feel free to text Erica when you deliver a meal but please understand that an immediate response is unlikely. Times are flexible, however, 5:00ish would be a good goal. Their address is: 2511 Glen Meadow Drive, Greensboro, NC. Please email me ([email protected]) with any questions. I'll be in New York after the first week but I'm happy to help as I can.
