Great job on the Facebook page (I see you are continuing to grow at 152 likes!). The foundation website is even more beautiful than ever, a great tribute to your beautiful brother, Connor.
I don't have Facebook yet, but I will soon and I will be sure to "like" Connor's page.
I'm happy to see you doing this not only because it is a great and necessary cause and a great way to honor your brother, but you may also find your life's calling in your work with the foundation. :) | Thanks, Kristin. I hope you do get a FB page soon, just so we can keep in contact even more!:)
I am SO passionate about this cause. Obviously. But yes this will be a mission of mine for the rest of my life. I am really loving everything that I have been doing. A lot of "PR" work behind the scenes going on right now with some celebrities and it's SUCH a cool feeling. I really love it. I will make this foundation nationwide one day, I just will.
Ever since Connor died, I realize how often drowning truly does happen. And how quickly. Ya know, people are so quick to judge parents but I think people just don't realize how a few seconds can turn deadly around water for kids. That's why our goal is to just make people aware, because so many people aren't. Florida, California, Arizona, Texas, etc, warm climates where people swim more often, it's actually the leading cause of death in children 14 and under.
Something else that's been happening more lately is children getting their intestines ripped out of them from pool drains. A law recently passed here after a senator's (I think) granddaughter died this way.
It also happened to this little girl.... Abbey's Hope
Thanks for liking the page! Keep it up :) |
