Owning my own business has resulted in my FB fam tripling in size and tonight Im going to take full advantage of this platform. Many of you know but many of you dont, 9 years ago (today) when I was coaching basketball, one of my players died unexpectedly of meningitis. One minute he was presenting with flu-like symptoms and the next, he was gone. He was only 16. The picture of the halo tattoo that is my profile pic is in part, for him. I was blessed to coach him for two seasons, his older brother for one, and to have his dad as my first AD. This family is very near and dear to my heart. His parents had NO idea his flu was meningitis and the one thing they wish more than anything (besides of course being able to just have him back) is that they had been better educated about this disease so they maybe could have caught it sooner and saved his life or had him vaccinated long before it had the opportunity to even think about taking his life. Please, for those of you with children or children in your life, take a minute in the near future to review this info and educate yourself about meningitis. And please, please, please share this status and link so as many people as possible can take a quick few moments to get educated too. Id really hate to see another family I love suffer the way that this one has. Much love & light to you all! xo voicesofmeningitis.org/what-is-meningitis.html?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_content=general_meningitis&utm_term=meningitis&utm_campaign=bacterialmeningitis_condition
