#16 | Keila, Stephen, & Jeremy | Honoring Kristopher Vincent

In this episode of AWESOME People, Iman's guest will be Kelia Speight and Jeremy MacLively who is the Manager at the Custom Ink store in Bethesda, Maryland, USA.

In mid-November of this year, Kelia entered Jeremy's store requesting to have shirts made to help raise funds for her 4 year old son Kristopher. At that point, Kristopher had been battling a rare form of Brain Cancer since May, known as Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). The story touched Jeremy tremendously, who himself has two young children and so he took it upon himself to help Kristopher and his family as best as he could. Sadly, on November 25th Kristopher passed on, however his legacy carries on. This episode is the story of Kristopher, the efforts of Jeremy, bringing awareness about DIPG as well as to spread the word about the two fundraisers that are currently in place to honor Spiderman-loving Kristopher and assist their family during this incredibly challenging period in their lives.

We encourage you to take a look at the two fundraising links below and if you can donate, wonderful. If not, perhaps consider sharing with your friends and family in the hopes that they can do the same:
