Also, if you are in Arizona this weekend, please consider joining me at the Run for Travis fundraiser in Gilbert. Travis Williams, the father of one of Charlotte’s very best friends, passed away this week from a battle with cancer. Travis leaves behind a wife and four young children. He was only age 40. Proceeds go toward helping the family with medical expenses. There will be a 5k walk/run, a silent auction, food trucks. I’m excited to go help in this way.
Becky Higgins, who I worked with on a Heather Bailey Project Life kit last year, is good friends with the Williams family. She wrote a beautiful post about their longstanding relationship earlier this month, if you’d like to take a look.
Also, if you would like to help, but you’re not in Gilbert, there is info on the Run for Travis facebook page on how to donate.
What a week for our community, for our family, for our Charlotte—though nothing compared with what these incredible families are facing. She and I leave for Travis’ funeral after this post goes live.
I wish hugs could be felt through cyberspace. Just his name alone makes my heart skip a beat since that is my husbands name. I can’t imagine losing him. So sorry for his wife and children, and all of you his friends. Will be thinking of you all tomorrow.
Thanks, Kerry. I didn’t know Travis myself. But I sure know his son who my daughter plays with every single day. We will be much more alert to his needs going forward. And their family is certainly in our prayers.
