They don’t!

Facebook Event Listing - King Richard's Faire RESCU Rally
September 12, 2012
The last few months have proven to be very difficult. More than a few loved ones from this caring community have died in a short period of time, sending shock waves throughout the country. Considering there are so many people that know and care for each other, it is not surprising that when there are numerous people that have passed, it becomes overwhelming.
Stay Strong. Love your neighbor. And remember to keep caring for friends and family. It is the best way to remember the happiness they offered this world.
We salute the lives that have been so special, touching our hearts so deeply that they leave a hole filled with grief when gone. It is healthy to grieve, and it is healthy to somehow transform that emotion to something positive. We applaud the people that can transform their grief to helping others. RESCU sends our deepest condolences to all the families and friends of every loss this community has endured. Sunshine is on the horizon.
Carol Black
Executive Director
RESCU Foundation
A tremendous thank you goes out to Linda, Buffie, and Renaissance Entertainment Productions (REP) who recognize RESCU’s efforts at the California Pleasure Faire and the Bristol Renaissance Faire to raise awareness for a healthy community and for assisting participants in medical need around the country.
This fantastic $10,000.00 donation allows RESCU to continue offering financial assistance and advocacy to those from the community that face minor or major medical issues. Moreover, this heartfelt donation will allow RESCU to expand our education and wellness programs to more locations. RESCU sends profound thanks for this donation, allowing us the opportunity to remain Pledged to the Health of the Company.
Huzzah!
