Today I visited Roswell to donate blood as I have several times over the past year. As I walked the halls I was reminded of my mom, my cousins, brother in law and so many other loved ones who have walked through this hospital filled with fear. I also visited my mom's memorial brick and wished so badly she was still here.
My mom, Lauren Hayes, loved so many friends, family, and neighbors and always found a way to give back to others. In that spirit, I'm riding to support the efforts of Roswell Park with the hope that someday in the future no family will have to endure a painful goodbye like ours.
Please support me in her good memory.
