We all have a desire to give in some form or fashion. We want to evoke change, make a difference, and leave an impact on the earth, but sometimes we are not sure how to do that. To give on a larger scale has always been my desire, but the how seemed to remain unclear. I spent a few years finding ways to give in my own way, but it still didn’t feel like enough. Sadly, sometimes, it takes painful losses to provide clarity and the inspiration you need to move forward. So I’ve taken a long-time desire to give and combined it with the loss of a woman that I love very dearly, Karen Ross. This combination birthed KROSS Foundation. Ms. Karen gave in ways that cannot be measured because she did it from her heart. She fed the less fortunate, offered hard but loving advice, and even in her guarded moments, she still loved tremendously. During her battle with lung cancer, Ms. Karen was an inspiration to us, and she radiated strength through it all. To us, she embodies our sunshine and a sweet, free butterfly. Her determination to keep fighting is the same determination we use to create change. While we continue raising awareness to find a cure for cancer, we’ll keep finding ways to help all we come in contact with.
We are Advocates for Change. One Life At A Time.
