Inspired by Kelley

In August when I was trying to figure out how I could help my godson Drew, I heard about Kelley's diving accident and how she too was facing devastating life challenges.

I have never met Kelley—I have two connections to her, well, three if you count the Help a Friend t-shirt I bought that is a fundraiser local swimmers and friends started.

One of those swimmers, who does know Kelley, is a friend of mine, Harley Sterling. Harley's project motivated me.

My other connection to Kelley is that I know she grew up swimming on the Dolphin swim team at the Keene Family YMCA. I am a member of the Y and will be training in the same pool where Kelley swam.

How you can help

I am asking people to join my effort by buying a TRI-FOR wrist band. My family and friends have donated the cost of the bands so that all the proceeds from every sale will go to Drew and Kelley.

I hope you'll join me in this cause and thank you.

Sincerely,

George Piers (email me)
