It is with mixed emotions that Michele and I inform everyone of our decision to disband Harrison’s Hope.  We want to thank everyone that has helped us over the years to disseminate our life saving message.

Our tireless work has put a spotlight on the preventable deaths and injuries of children when left alone in and around cars.  We would not have accomplished that without our  numerous supporters, volunteers, sponsors, family and friends.  Words cannot express how inspirational those people were in our lives when we needed them most.

Thank you to our board of directors … past and present.  We were presented with many obstacles along the way, but your passion, dedication, intelligence, and support helped us reach goals that seemed too lofty and beyond our grasp.

There is a quote by Merikay McLeod … “Change is inevitable; we will always exist in the midst of it. It is our choice whether we will be its victim or its architect.”  Michele and I are choosing to become life’s architect … this is not a sad time, but a time to look back and be proud of our accomplishments.  This is a time to look forward and embrace all that life has in store for us.  We will be moving forward without Harrison’s Hope, but Harrison will always remain in our hearts.  His legacy changed and saved many lives since his untimely death.

Michele is a stay-at-home mom and has the pleasure to engage 100% into Peyton’s life.  I am a consultant working in the health care industry.

We have met countless wonderful people since the inception of Harrison’s Hope.  Many have been and still remain close friends.  We could have not survived life without the selflessness of so many … and for that we are thankful.
