My heart is forever broken that Mo is no longer here with us. Every day something else reminds me of my Mo and his incredible laugh. February always brings one of Mo man’s favorite things—Mix 106.5’s Radiothon for Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. Radiothon meant everything to Mo. He could not miss it. As soon as we knew the dates, he insisted that I take off because we had to be there. Knowing that he could do something to help somebody else meant everything to him.

Johns Hopkins means everything to me. Even though Mo is no longer here, I’m so grateful that people are able to go there and get the amazing treatment they need the way my son did.The staff, nurses, doctors, child life, everyone in their own way has touched my son’s life and made it so he was never scared to go the hospital. They did everything they could to save my son’s life. I can’t thank them enough—but I’m going to try. I can’t believe it's our second Radiothon without my Mo. He has left a legacy with Radiothon and I’m fundraising again in his honor because I know he would want me to. 

Radiothon is more than people just talking on the radio trying to raise money. This money goes to a great cause and helps so many families who are going through so much. You never know how far your dollar will go but it will help a family more than you will ever know. Radiothon has changed the lives of my son and I in more ways than you could ever fathom.

I still have to pinch myself. I’m beyond grateful for so many people who have come together and shown so much support during Mo’s life and since we said goodbye to him. I cannot thank everyone enough. The fact that my son that left this impact and touched so many people…I never would have imagined that little boy could change the world in just 14 years of his life. It’s amazing. 

Radiothon is Thursday, Feb. 24 and Friday, Feb. 25. I hope you’ll tune in to Mix 106.5—Mo would have wanted us to. I also hope you’ll consider making a donation (every dollar counts!) in his memory. Every donation through my page will be counted towards this year’s Radiothon total. You can also join my team and create your very own fundraising page in Mo's honor. Radiothon meant everything Mo—let’s make it the biggest year yet. Thank you! 

Forever and always #MoStrong 💛
