Meet this year's honorees:
Tobias
Meet Ian, our first recipient for this year's Kickin' Cancer's Can. 
This 6-year old has loved growing up in the small town and amazing community of Tooele, UT with his family of seven – including his mother, Debbie, father, Daniel, and siblings Kaitlyn, Skyler, Aaron, and Melaine. Indeed, Ian enjoys the simple things in life like swimming and going to the beach with his family. Yet, he loves spending time with his dad the very most. “He’s my favorite,” he says.

​Meet Al Welch, the son of a military father, grew up living all around the world, learning from people of different countries and cultures. While he has a hard time calling any particular place his childhood home, he has many memories from an extended period of time spent in Las Vegas, NV and he especially loved the time he spent in the Philippines.
​
Al feels lucky that his wife, Tanya, took a chance on him. He humorously recalls the first time they met. Tanya saw him with another woman and naturally assumed the woman was his girlfriend. Luckily, he still ended up with Tanya’s number, they met up the next day, and the rest is history.

Stansbury Park resident and mother of 3, Heidi Coleman, fondly recalls memories of floating the canal in her childhood home of St. George, UT. Family reunions spent with cousins, aunts, and uncles also fill Heidi with happy memories of her childhood. Yet, Heidi grew up quickly, and by age 17 Heidi had already become a CNA and met the man who would be her future spouse, Joe, to whom she has been happily married to ever since.
​
Because Heidi grew up in a small town, she gravitated towards the tight knit community of Stansbury Park. Their family, consisting of Kelsey, age 21, Cameron, age 18, and Jacen, age 14, has been enjoying this caring and supportive community for the past 13 years. Heidi’s sons are best buds, and since both have Down Syndrome, Heidi loves having a neighborhood that knows and cares for them and is helping them to live their best life possible.
