We lost our 3-year-old daughter "Brie" in a drowning accident on June 23, 2013.
We created the Live For Brie Foundation to do our best to prevent another family from having to go through such a tragedy. In addition, Live for Brie Foundation is committed to help, through financial and emotional support, those families who have lost a child in a drowning accident.
