"Run for Josh"

A big thank you to Jordan and Steve Sessions, & Zions Bank-Eden Branch employees! What an incredible event for Josh and our family. We feel overwhelmed at the love and prayers that have been given in Josh's behalf. We wish that there were words to describe the feelings in our hearts for all of our family, friends and many we don't even know who have prayed and shared so much with us. There is no way for us to return our gratitude to each of you individually so it is our families goal to "pay it forward". We love you all! Josh, Cord, Lisa, Jake, Justin, Marne', & C-dog

Josh was spending the day with his family at the Holmes family reunion. They were all having some 'fun in the sun' at Pineview Reservoir. Josh had been impressing everyone with his wakeboarding skills and took a couple bad wrecks. Later that day he was swimming off the shore at Middle Inlet with his brothers Justin and Colton. Josh was standing in the water almost to his waist when he did a swimmers dive to go in for a swim. Josh remembers hitting the sand. He was instantly paralyzed and was not able to come up. His brothers swimming close by noticed his back arched and his head under and wondered what he was doing, they swam over to him and helped him out to the shore, Josh coughed up some water, and told them he thought he was drowning. Justin touched Josh's leg and he could not feel them. 911 was called immediately, within 4-5 min. the paramedics were there and called life-flight. Josh was transported to the Hospital.
