I couldn’t imagine watching my Dad die in front of me, especially as a teen.
And if that happened, I sure as heck don’t think I’d be able to tell the story over and over again, day in and day out, to thousands of complete strangers.
But that’s exactly what Legacy Letter Challenge Founder, Blake Brewer, is doing…
And it’s impacting thousands of Dads all across the world and forever changing their families, including mine.
