My name is Lonnie and I am fundraising for my brothers family. His wife was killed in a head on car accident on the afternoon of New Years Eve on her way to the grocery store.

Tricia and my brother have 2 teenage girls one of which is severely mentally handicapped. Tricia was also caregiver to her elderly father and uncle who, in the last year have had a stroke, 2 knee replacements and a heart attack.

Unfortunately, Trish’s family has endured many tragedies over the years. She lost her brother to Cancer, her sister in a motorcycle accident and her mother to cancer. Despite all of the tragedy in her short life she still found a way to make the best of her life and those she loved. Tricia also cared about those she had yet to meet in her community and became a nurse!
