It’s Donate Life Month!

by | Apr 18, 2023

Observed in April each year, National Donate Life Month helps raise awareness about organ donation and to honor those that have saved lives through the gift of donation.

With the publishing of Ridiculously Hopeful, we not only share the testimony of our son, Townes, but we also celebrate and long to honor and remember the legacy of our son’s donor and his/her family.

A family whom we will likely never meet, while faced with the most unthinkable decision, selflessly chose to change the course of my family’s future. Our donor family gave us the most precious gift; one we did not deserve, nor can we ever repay. 
 
We long for their child’s legacy to extend far beyond our family to extend exponential hope to others. Would you join our campaign?
 
Will you become a Hope Donor?
 
To become a Hope Donor, we ask that you extend the gift of hope and encouragement to others by gifting a copy or two of Ridiculously Hopeful.  You can even send a copy direct from Amazon with a note.

Together let’s make an eternal impact and donate hope to others. 

More than 100,000 people are waiting for a lifesaving transplant. Transplants rely on the generosity of organ, eye and tissue donors, and there are not enough donors to meet the need. You can help.      https://www.donatelife.net

Unprepared in the Unexpected

Townes has entered a stage we have coined “No Nap Townes.” I don’t know why or how it has happened but suddenly our toddler apparently has ideas of his own for nap time or quiet time. The best part of all is when you ask him, “did you take a nap today?” Townes, “Not...

While words exist to describe the rollercoaster of these last 36 hours, even then, these words fall short to express the utter heartbreak and devastation, we as a Nashville community have undergone. Questions loom unanswered. Explanations never to...

Happy 3rd Birthday Townes!

Time is a funny thing, isn’t it? In some ways, it feels as if Townes has been a part of our lives longer than three years (maybe the year-2020- that never seemed to end has something to do with it) or maybe it’s just that life is hard to remember without his joyous...
