All of the kids just love him as he is like the pied piper; you are just drawn to him – adults too! He is a giver and does not hesitate in Helping Other People Everyday!

Vice President-  Mary Kay Myrmel  is a teacher at Hopkins North Junior High. She was a teacher of Blair’s in junior high and sent an email right away saying she wanted to help in some way. She helped us out at our Annual Garage Sale Fundraiser and we decided to adopt her. Not only is she a great teacher and helps children everyday, she is also looking forward to Helping Other People Everyday!

Member-  Deb Lubotina is the mother of Gretchen. She is a wonderful woman who even though she is very busy has given so much of her limited time to Blair and our family. Since Blair passed, she has continued to help us in many ways and will continue Help Other People Everyday.

Member – Jessica Crelly is a senior in college studying Therapeutic Recreation. She is a part of this organization because of Blair. She first met Blair back in June 2005 when she was diagnosed; little did she know at that time how close she would become with the family. Jessica believes in this foundation and how it strives to help other people everyday!

Member- Katie Crelly is a junior in college studying Psychology and Pre-Occupational Therapy. Katie was Blair’s best friend and in her honor Katie had an image of our Blair Bracelet tattooed on her ankle. I don’t know if Katie realizes how much it meant to Blair but it did and she is one of the reasons we Help Other People Everyday. Thank you.

Member – Rachel Crelly is a senior in high school. She enjoys volleyball, softball, hanging with friends and of course Helping Other People Everyday! She is part of our foundation because she loves all of the people that are involved and misses Blair very much. She enjoys being part of a group that she knows will support her in everything she does.
