#2--UPDATE: 10/19/2026-- surgery will not be in stages. It will be a day surgery on November 24th to insert cornea cells-and 98% chance this works--and is less stress of oossibly pulling thr retina. If this does not work then the multi procedure will be proceeded.

#1--10/19/2026-8 amThis post is to ask for PRAYER for the master mind behind this TEAM -- Kenneth Richard better known at PAWPAW to the Team Drivers!!!
Eye surgery has been a debate for a few months now --waiting for racing season to end. Pretty sure everyone knows he is legally blind and has very little sight in his left eye. He CHERISHES every moment he gets to watch the grandkids RACE-- R and R Racing.
HIS LIFE REVOLVES AROUND FAMILY AND FRIENDS WITH A PASSION FOR
**HIS Business --Richards Tire Service
**RACING - all family & friends
**The Thunder Valley Speedway
With that being said he went to his follow up appointment last week and the time has come the surgery has to be done. The lens is rubbing down on the cornea much more. He has a consultation this morning with the Dr that will be doing the surgery/surgeries. From our understanding it will be a multi-step process of 3 surgeries. (Lens removal-cornea replacement-special lens placement) we will know more specifics today.
I just ask for you to pray for God's will to be done with guidance and understanding for the Dr, daddy and all of us during this whole process.
Thank you in advance on behalf of daddy ( Kenneth Richard ) and our family.
