Expect the Unexpected

There’s a lot that needs to happen before heading out on a big, long trip. Between making sure you get caught up at work, maybe finding a pet-sitter, and packing your bags it can sometimes feel overwhelming. On top of all the usual stuff Garrett Barclay didn’t count on going to the bank to be on his to-do list, but his mom, Sandy Sackett, insisted.

It was a clear morning in May when Garrett and Sandy walked into the Choice Bank location in Grafton. They were immediately greeted by the whole team who had prepared a special surprise.

Since he works during the week, Garrett dedicates every Saturday and Sunday to biking.

“I usually go 10.5 miles every time I do it,” said Garrett. “And, I can re-use the packets about eight times each.”

“He should be able to go for a while now,” smiled Sandy.

The timing also happened to work out in Garrett’s favor. He was prepping to leave on a two-week trip to Baltimore in June, a trip he regularly takes to receive special treatment and therapy in the hopes that he will be able to walk on his own.

“Until then, we’re going get you exercising even more than you wanted to do,” laughed Val.

Garrett just smiled.

“Thank you so much. I totally wasn’t expecting this.”
