Bill, Meg and David--
Every time I look at my red wristband, I remember Will as a young boy. I am a director of Painting Pathways Clubhouse in Manitowoc, a member club of the International Center for Clubhouse Coalition Development. It is a member governed private charity for adults with diagnosed mental illnesses. I have come to appreciate the non-discriminatory nature of mental illness. Our annual fund-raising breakfast was last Thursday, and I was the speaker. I spoke about my aunt who developed a bipolar disorder late in her life, and Will. The story touched many lives, and helped result in many donations. Your mission to train law enforcement in crisis intervention means that some good comes from this tragedy. I shall continue to wear the wristband. I remember how badly he wanted to bungee jump after seeing Wade and Penny's videos.
Stay strong,
Tom Van Horn
