The Plan Changed. The Mission Didn’t.
Boston didn’t come calling, and the disappointment was real. But after a few reflective days, I realized the plan may have changed—but the mission behind Rebuild the Shield remains.
PICK UP THE SHIELD ANYWAY
Boston didn’t come calling, but no decision can diminish what Fairways 4 Kids accomplished. A reflection on disappointment, gratitude, approximately $5,000 raised for Boston Children’s Hospital and what it means to pick up the shield anyway.
BEFORE THE FIRST TEE
Before the first tee shot is struck, Fairways 4 Kids has already become more than a golf tournament—a community coming together, honoring meaningful stories and giving back to Boston Children’s Hospital.
The Week the Shield Became Real
This week, Rebuild the Shield stopped feeling like an idea and started feeling real—a reflection on sharing the site openly, finding my voice on camera and building something one story, one conversation and one step at a time.
Why I’m Rebuilding the Shield
After loss, difficult family issues and a period when I barely recognized myself, I made a decision: I wasn’t going to remain there. This is why I’m rebuilding—and why I’ve chosen to share it.
