A Party for Marty and Personal Message from Taylor Hicks

[Taylor Hicks]

Everyone needs encouragement in life. Everyone has people that are instrumental in getting them where they ultimately need to be and where God wants them to be. One of those people for me has always been Marty Eagle. It's a one in a million chance that people catch the so called "break" in my industry, but Marty always encouraged me to stay focused and keep my eye on the target. So now I am encouraging you to raise awareness for someone who has encouraged me and many others... one of my favorite people of all time, Marty Eagle. -Taylor

Marty has done so much for so many.  My prayers are with him as well as my contribution.  Also, I am asking the Soul Patrol to also send a card of encouragement to Marty.  Remember how happy we made Has when we sent him Christmas cards?
