The primary reason for our Foundation’s being is to move forward in supporting others in their growth, especially those in underserved communities who do not have access to personal growth resources. Recently, I've noticed that underserved communities are becoming polarized and isolated rather than reached towards with a helping hand.

I’d like to share something personal with you. I’m missing Mariah these days, and I have some small regrets around her death. One is that I often question whether I checked in with her enough about her day-to-day living with ALS. I do know that she was a model of putting ALS on the backburner so she and we could ALWAYS move forward. Still, that thought haunts me sometimes.

This year has been a difficult one and I’m sure you feel it too. There has been and continues to be a destructive pandemic which has killed over 1.6 million people worldwide and more than 304,000 in the United States as of this writing.
