We would like to invite everyone to join us this Saturday, January 11th for a moment of silence for us all to remember and honor MJ. We will meet at MJ's Memorial Garden in front of Murphy Middle School -facing Murphy Road (built by Eagle Scout Kyle Kester).
Please arrive by 11am so we can respectively be silent for one minute at 11:11am.
MJ always wanted to help others. During his battle with cancer, he knew his mission was to help other kids fighting cancer by making sure the hospitals had plenty of toys and games for kids to play with while they were in the hospital. His parents Mike and Becky Graves are continuing his legacy with their charity Ready Fighter One www.readyfighterone.com
Please consider either making a donation to Ready Fighter One or bringing a new toy to the Memorial Garden this Saturday at 11am in honor of MJ. Toys will be delivered to local hospitals for Ready Fighter One.
