Our Inspiration
Everyone deserves to dream.
Dreams start with believing in yourself, and are realized with the support of others. Dreams help define who you are and who you want to be. Dreams fuel joy, hope and new possibilities. A world without dreams is unimaginable. Yet every day, there are many fighting to keep their dreams alive. Trauma, disease and isolation turn their dreams into darkness. This is especially true for children battling cancer, and veterans plagued by mental and emotional challenges. Both can carry invisible scars of anxiety, depression and isolation. For them, dreams seem to evaporate and life becomes smaller.
We say, it’s time for them to DREAM BIG again!
