In Memory – Our Inspiration
Mike Forzley, Steve’s friend and mentor, who died too early from cancer. Mike’s work at Friends of the Children inspired us and provided a model for L.E.A.D Uganda. His guidance and service on the board helped us make this an exceptional program. He remains forever in our hearts.
