17 Strong! Steve & Holly Teixeira are Up & Adam!

17 Strong Up & Adam in the Morning. 17 Strong provides Victory Trips for young adults, 18-40, who have suffered the trauma of catastrophic illness. Local Ryan Teixeira was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 18. He started planning a trip from another organization in the hospital as something to look forward to after treatment, but was denied due to age cutoffs. Since most wish-fulfillment organizations cut off at 18, it then became his goal to create a foundation for young adults like him who are often forgotten. We lost Ryan after he created 17 Strong, and today Adam talks to Mom & Dad, Holly & Steve to learn more about this special and worthy organization. Please learn more and support them next week in their fundraising efforts. www.SeventeenStrong.com
