On Saturday, North Summit High School rising senior Hayden Blonquist was feeling good, if a little awkward. “It’s weird coming to events that are (benefiting) you,” he said. “But I like the support; it’s been very helpful.” He stood at the starting gates of the 5K race and 1K walk at the Coalville City Summer Celebration, among more than 130 community members whose registration fees would be donated to Blonquist to help him pay for treating his leukemia. Just behind him, plastic letters stood on hay bales reading “Attitude is Everything,” a quote attributed to Blonquist, and the hashtag #BeStrongHayden, which was popularized by the high school and printed on shirts that students wore after he was diagnosed in February. It would be hard to tell, just by looking, that Blonquist is sick. He wore a hat, but had hair poking out from under it, and apart from walking somewhat slowly, he had little trouble getting around. But getting to that point has been a long process. “It’s been quite the ride,” he said. “We’ve had some ups and downs but overall, I can’t complain. I’ve been doing pretty well.” PARK CITY GOLF CLUB The Park City Golf Club is open for the season. For pricing information go to www.parkcity.org/departments/park-city-golf-club or call 435-615-5800.

BEN RAMSEY/PARK RECORD Hayden Blonquist at the starting line of Saturday’s 5k run and 1K walk at the Coalville City Summer Celebration. The proceeds of the race and other events were donated to help pay for his leukemia treatment. Of course, “pretty well” means something different when you’re going through chemotherapy. “There for a while, ‘pretty well’ was being able to get up and out of bed,” he said. “Now I’ve been able to stay active and eat whatever I want.” His side effects have included pancreatitis (“that was really painful”), kidney stones, (“that was also really painful”) and steroid-induced diabetes (“That was only temporary but was kind of a pain”). He was also recently diagnosed with osteonecrosis, MOUNTAIN TRAILS FOUNDATION For trail information, including maps and conditions, go to mountaintrails.org.

The a disease where bone dies faster than it can be regrown due to an inadequate supply of blood. “There is no cure for it, but your bones can heal,” he said. “I just have to wait that out. It can take years — usually years — so we will see how that goes.” Blonquist started to notice something was wrong during last basketball season. He had been having strep-like symptoms for a while, but early one Sunday morning his neck swelled visibly, and the Blonquists went to the hospital. “I found out I had a mass (of lymph nodes) in my chest about the size of an apple, so we went to Primary and went from there,” he said. The following Sunday, after doctors confirmed he had cancer, he started telling his basketball team what was going on. Doctors said he could no longer play, cutting short the shooting guard’s season. Because of his osteonecrosis, he will sit out next season as well, and probably an undetermined number of seasons after high school, which has led Blonquist to reevaluate his plans. Just six months ago, he was hoping to earn a basketball scholarship and attend an out-of-state Weather Park City statistics for the week ending June 18 WEDNESDAY Temperatures: THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY High for the week ................................ 85° Low for the week ................................. 42° Precipitation: Total for the week ............................. 0.24” Mostly sunny and pleasant Mostly sunny Winds: NW 4-8 mph Winds: SW 6-12 mph Winds: WNW 6-12 mph Winds: WSW 6-12 mph Winds: NW 4-8 mph 76°/52° 85°/53° 77°/50° 78°/46° 68°/49° Partly sunny ACCUWEATHER UV INDEX Sunny to partly cloudy and Mostly sunny and pleasant nice TM Ogden 81/57 Elko 86/51 Salt Lake City 85/61 Wendover 84/62 SUN AND MOON Wednesday ......

In the meantime, he said his illness has shifted his focus. He still shoots around for fun, and does some limited weightlifting, but mostly, he said, he goes fishing. “When you need help getting out of bed because you’re too weak to do that on your own, it definitely makes you appreciate the little things,” he said. Some of those little things include the way people have helped his family, such as the efforts of his friend Brennen Richins. “He was always plugging along, always just helping me and my mom out with little things,” Blonquist said, who then added that there were probably “a million people” that had helped his family. “The whole community really,” he said.
