Peggy -
What devastating news about Lori. Words are insufficient to fully express our sadness at hearing it. Just know that you and Ricky and the children, along with the rest of the family, are in our thoughts and prayers.

All of Lori's friends from The Sport of Giving continue to be inspired by her courage. She always made time in her busy schedule to speak at our luncheons and always had the same message--cancer would never define her life, the way she lived would.
