The Goals of the Foundation

 Patrick's positive energy was contagious, inspiring the Foundation to pay forward to others Patrick's incredible passion, work ethic, devotion to healthy living, and loving and respecting one another. Our vision is to reach out to our community, our youth and eventually beyond to share Patrick's story. We want to encourage and inspire all, as Patrick did, to embrace a mutually supportive culture, assisting each other to lead a healthier, happier, more compassionate life.  If in particular we can educate our youth on the importance of having each other's back & seeking to face challenges together; we are confident those learned traits will allow them to overcome adversity of all shapes.  These principles guide the Foundations actions and support it’s core values.
