Gunnar's Story (7-29-2018 - 9/01/2022)

In honor of our son Gunnar, we created a non-profit organization called "Play Like Gunnar". Play Like Gunnar is a way we can all honor Gunnar and the wonderful loving child he was. To keep his smile, his laugh and wonderful memories we all had in our hearts and minds. All proceeds will be donated to the Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) in Gunnars name. CHD affects 40,000 babies each year and 1 in 4 will require surgery within the first year of life. Your donations big or small will help us make a difference for all affected with CHD. No family should ever feel the pain we have felt this past year and with each donation made its one step closer to making that possible. We thank each and every one of you that has donated in honor of Gunnar. Gunnar loved everyone he met. His heart, although broken, had so much love. Gunnar is truly missed but with this foundation, friends like all of you, his life will live on forever.
