Join Me And Change Lives In Ghana
The Next Chapter: Ghana, October 2025
This October, I will once again join the Osborne Head and Neck Foundation on a Medical and Impact Mission, this time to Accra, Ghana. Together with our team of specialists, we will bring specialty medical care and life-saving treatment to people who need it most. What makes our missions even more meaningful is that they extend beyond medicine. We will also be working to improve the living conditions of a shelter for orphaned children ages 4 to 17, who I believe deserve a chance at a healthy, hopeful, and safe future.
My role on these missions is to ensure that we reach as many people as possible in the limited time we have. It’s intense. It’s emotional. We can’t help everyone, and that weighs heavily. But for the ones we do reach, for every surgery, every smile, every moment of relief, the effort is worth it.
This mission is especially close to my heart because I love children and I have children of my own. Kids don’t choose the circumstances they’re born into, but they still deserve a life full of opportunity. The shelter we’re supporting is not only giving them a home, but also a future through education, vocational training, and the kind of care that allows them to grow into strong, independent members of society.
Thank you for being a part of this journey. Your support means more than I can ever fully express. I carry the names of each supporter with me on every mission, and with every life we touch, I feel you are there beside me.
Together we can change lives. Learn More about your impact.
