For those local to the north Carolina area you have heard of ior met @Shannon and his wife diana. They were at the falls lake meet up last year and have been on the Charleston run for the past two years. Last year they both rode with us on our boat and this year they took their own 19 footer. They are genuine people who are friendly and willing to help. We meet them when shannon posted on the forum the spring of 2016 wanting help learning his bran new boat that he had never splashed. My family and I met him and diana at the ramp to falls to show them a few pointers for their boat and then we were gonna go our separate ways. We ended up spending the entire day with then and then invited them on our boat for Charleston. Ever since then they have been nonstop jetboating!

On Sunday Diana had a heart attack and an a tumor on her adrenal gland that is making things harder than normal. She has been in icu since Sunday and can not have any visitors. Shannon asked for prayers as the doctors try to get a handle on things.

I'm so sorry to hear - this is terrible news.
@Shannon Dianna please get well soon!

@Shannon praying for your wife and family,
 
Please let them know she will be in our prayers.
 
That is terrible...... she in my family's thoughts and prayers!
 
I spoke with shannon tonight. He said the tumor on her adrenal glad has been there for a long time but just manifested as other problems until it finally caused a heart attack on Sunday. Diana is awake off and on but the problem is what the doctors call the cocaine effect.. She will be alert and then bang a giant uncontrolled adrenaline dump and she is out.. there is no time line for when she will be released. They are still trying to get this under control..

Prayers are with you and hope all of today's medical technology and experts will also help see her through it quickly. We are with you @Shannon. Let us know if we can help in any way.
 
@Shannon Cindy and I are so sorry to hear what Diana is going through. It was great meeting you two and showing you Morris island lighthouse during this most recent Charleston run. Lots of thoughts and prayers coming your way.
 
Even though we are local we have not had the chance to meet them yet but we look forward to meeting the BOTH of them soon. Prayers are sent for a speedy recovery Diana @Shannon
 
@Shannon all the prayers to you and your family.
