| Michael <3 we will always remember |
Patrick and I will be walking in memory of Patrick's cousin, Michael. Michael was only 18 when he got into the passenger side of his "friend's" car. The so-called friend had been drinking and got into a car accident. The car hit a pole and flipped over. The "friend" panicked, as he was also a multiple drunk driving offender, so he left Michael there. Michael died of his injuries.
The "friend" now lives in a jail cell.
Michael's mom, Karen, is a momma bear. She made sure the charges stuck. She also made sure that Michael's wishes were fulfilled. Michael donated his heart, lungs, liver, pancreas and kidneys. All of the people that received his organs are blessed to have a part of Michael. He would have loved to know he helped others.
Karen also started a yearly walk to give money back to the school system, Fox Point-Bayside, that Michael loved so much. The Spread Your Wings Walk takes place Sunday, September 29, 2013 at Ellsworth Park (600 E. Ellsworth Ln., Across Street From Bayside Middle School)
Please come walk with us. Walk to remember Michael. Walk to raise funds for the school system.
Registration is at 10am and the walk starts at 11am.
