Meet Team HFL 2009


Hello everybody,

I wanted to thank all of you for attending the WALK today, and for the continued support you have shown my family. We have close to 200 team members in attendance this year. That in itself speaks volumes. It is truly amazing. It is also a testament to the kind of person my brother, Dennis, was.
This year we have collectively raised over $10,000. That is quite an accomplishment. I am so proud of our team, it was truly a group effort.

Here we are today~ Team Hungry For Life. That slogan: "Hungry For Life" has been used over and over again. Many, if not all of you, know that that is actually a phrase Dennis used when describing his will to live. He always had a way with words. But I want to pause for a moment to think about what the phrase "Hungry For Life" means. To me, it means living each day to the fullest. It means appreciating our friends, our family and our health. We need to be thankful for today, because everything can change tomorrow. Dennis knew firsthand that tomorrow is never guaranteed. He truly embodied what being Hungry For Life means.
We are here today for you, Dennis. We will never, ever forget you and we promise to remain Hungry For Life.
