When I started the Charlie and Noah Foundation, my heart was in the right place. The dream was simple. Honor the memories of my grandsons by helping children. Not thousands of children. Not changing the whole world. Just helping one child when we could.
But life and it’s responsibilities has a way of diverting attention to the every day requirements.
Some of you know our story. Some of you don’t. The foundation never stopped meaning something to me. I just wasn’t ready. I am now.
Charlie and Noah deserve to be remembered for so much more than the way we lost them. They were young boys who laughed, played, dreamed, and were deeply loved. If their names can become a reason for a child to smile, for a family to feel supported, or for someone to experience a little kindness, then that’s exactly what this foundation should be about.
So today isn’t a grand reopening. It’s just a first step.
I’m glad you’re here. I hope you’ll walk with me as we honor two amazing boys by trying to make one child’s world a little brighter at a time.
