Hannah's Gift of Inspiration
I was inspired to get involved with nonprofits through a dear friend. Her name was Hannah Bates and she was diagnosed with cancer at age 15. She was so giving and loving to all those around her. At her funeral service, I looked around the gymnasium at the sea of people in pink (as she had requested) whose lives she touched. Everyone felt they were a friend and knew they mattered to Hannah. Hannah inspired me to leave a legacy but where does one start? I vowed that day to get more involved by doing at least 1 nonprofit event per month for one year. I started with the Wishing Star Foundation because they had granted Hannah's wish of this fabulous pink golf cart to help her get around. After that first event I was hooked! I now am on the board of directors for Lucas House and Ride For Joy as well as the Executive Director for the Jayden DeLuca Foundation. My life is now devoted to nonprofits because of the loving inspiration of a friend!
