Hi Letsrun Community,
On December 31st, 2019 my teammate and friend Alex Riggsby lost his father Ken Riggsby to a pulmonary embolism. This event was extremely unexpected and has completely blindsided all members of a loving family who were planning to spend the evening celebrating his daughter's birthday. This was going to be the send off of a year that caused them more than their fair share of grief.
As strong as the Riggsby's are, this devastating event and its aftermath will in all likelihood be one of the hardest things each of them endures in their lives. The cost of continued health insurance, mortgage payments and a memorial fit for a man who brought such stability and joy to his family and all who met him are not additional burdens they deserve to bear at this time. To that end, I have attached a GoFundMe link created by Ken's sister wherein one can donate to help the family with such things. The more they raise the easier the transition will be for them through this hard time. Thank you.
