A Truly Special Event

Flipping through my calendar, I see an almost endless stream of meetings, phone calls, interviews and deadlines. But, on April 11, my wife and I have a particularly exciting event to attend, and we hope you’ll join us.

We’re headed to Indianapolis for the first annual Terri Schindler Schiavo Life & Hope Concert.

Five years ago, Terri tragically died after her husband won a lengthy court battle: not to take her off life support — she was very much alive — but to withhold food and water. Fourteen days later, she died from severe dehydration. No family should have to endure what Terri’s parents and siblings went through. But even in the face of such heartbreak and loss, they continue to defend others facing potentially life-threatening situations.

The Schindler family banded together to form Terri’s Foundation, a non-profit advocating for the people who cannot fight for themselves. Among their many outstanding efforts, they are assembling a national network of attorneys and doctors committed to protecting the rights of the vulnerable through activism and public awareness. And, along the way, the Schindlers are spreading a message of true compassion to grassroots groups, the media and political leaders.

That’s why the Life & Hope Concert is so exciting. It features country stars Collin Raye and Randy Travis, an all-star line-up for a critically important cause, but best of all, it’s a fundraiser to support the work of Terri’s Foundation. So, if you can get to the Indianapolis area, please join me at the Murat Theatre for a truly memorable night. And if the distance is too far, know that you can still be a part of history by helping to sponsor the concert. Please show your support for life and let the Schindler family know they are not alone.

In Celebration of LIFE,
