HOW IT ALL STARTED - BRODY MAN STRONG!

FB_IMG_1742913612424.jpg

My wife, Erica and I have been longtime college friends of Crystal and Brian Thornburg. Their 7th grade son, Brody was diagnosed with Severe Aplastic Anemia in February, 2015. Since that day, their lives have been consumed with doctor visits, blood transfusions, bone marrow transplants, host vs. graft disease and so many more trials and tribulations.

As we walked with them through their journey, we heard of the incredible foundation, DreamOn3 that Brody has been apart of.  Their foundation specializes in making sports "dreams" come true for children with life altering medical conditions.

This year we attended the Dream on 3 Carolinas Dream Gala fundraiser with Brody, Crystal and Brian. What an amazing night! Once I heard all the amazing stories of so many kids and their journeys, it inspired me to get involved.

A few days after the event I met with DreamOn3 creator Brandon Lindsey and he told me about the Dream Granter Program. I knew immediately I wanted to help another child's "dream" come true!
