Dinner of Champions

We had the honor of attending the 33rd Annual Dinner of Champions this past September. The McCarthey Family hosted the event at La Caille Restaurant. The gala celebrates athletic and community leaders, who inspire all with their drive and determination. Our Mother was one of the honorees, Melissa accepted the award on my mother's behalf. This is what was written for  Mom:

MS CHAMPION

Living with Hope

Ann Marsh
The Living with Hope award was proudly accepted by Melissa Marsh on behalf of her late mother who, despite her limited physical state as a result of MS had an unwavering determination to live beyond her disease. Ann was a graduate of Murray High School and Brigham Young University. She was a mother and teacher who robustly exuded joy in all that she did.

The event raised more than $120,000 to support local programs and services for people impacted by multiple sclerosis. It will also help to fund research that will find ways to stop the disease,  help restore what’s been lost, and to end MS forever. We were all so honored to attend. It was a great way to celebrate Mom's life. We know she wasn't perfect, but she did the best she could with her situation. Cheers to you Mom, we love and miss you!
