Hello all. Today, October 16, would have been Adam's 44th birthday.

In honor of Adam, we're raising money for a charity with a mission that was important to him. Prior to his passing, Adam's dog, Liam, was a major source of comfort and support. This should actually read "Liam's human, Adam," as that more accurately depicts their relationship. Adam and I had multiple conversations about having Liam registered as a service dog. Our hope is that - through this organization - more veterans find their Liam.

America's VetDogs' mission is to help those who have served our country honorably to live with dignity and independence, whether they are visually impaired or have other special needs, through the use of assistance dogs. America's VetDogs provides independence, mobility and companionship for veterans and military personnel of all eras - from World War II to those recently wounded in active conflicts abroad - who are visually impaired or have other disabilities, through the use of guide, service, facility, therapy and companion dogs.

Every contribution, big or small, makes a real impact. Even just a few dollars can help move this mission forward and reach those who need it most.

If you can’t donate right now, sharing this fundraiser is also incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. It means the world.
