Simon Bray
Watching TVG, and it's been disclosed that Mr. Bray has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma cancer. Thoughts and prayers are with him and his family during his care and treatment.
TVG has set up a foundation and will match all donations up to $10,000.

Thank you for starting a thread. I was just coming to do so.
My prayers and thoughts are with Simon and his family. He has a young son and a daughter on the way in the next month. May healing light shine over Simon. Like Matt said, "Simon is a tough son-of-a-bitch and if anyone can fight this, he can".
In reading a bit about this type of cancer, it can cause back pain and even bone breakage which is what happened to him. He has had to wear a type of cast that looks horribly uncomfortable. I hope that heals very quickly so that he can begin his treatment.
We're behind you, Simon!!!!!

Dear Lord of Mercy and Father of Comfort,
You are the One we turn to for help in moments of weakness and times of need. I ask you to be with your servant Simon in this illness. Psalm 107:20 says that you send out your Word and heal. So then, please send your healing Word to your servant. In the name of Jesus, drive out all infirmity and sickness
from his body.
All of this I pray in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.

The next time we get our panties in a bunch about the various issues in horse racing, let's put things in perspective by thinking about Simon's issues. The guy knows his horses and I hope his treatments work out.

My uncle Mel has Multiple Myeloma as well and it's a bear of a disease. He was a baseball player and coach all his life so he's in great shape which has helped him survive so long with it (14 years) but it's starting to get to him. A couple weeks ago he was swinging a golf club and broke some ribs.
I had the pleasure of meeting Simon at Emerald Downs once and he couldn't have been nicer. Definitely pulling for him.

This was rough news. I have not seen him in a number of years but the times I was with him he was a super nice guy. Hope he is able to to control the disease the best he can.
