At its heart, Still Kickin is a community, and that will never change. Ournon-profit, which is doing great (go, Jesse!) will still be creating and giving out grants with help from a volunteer staff and board of directors.
Still Kickin has grown and evolved a lot since Lindsay and I sat in the basement of a co-working space in Minneapolis and pushed “publish” on a website with four t-shirt designs. We could not have done it without the community of people who have shown up for us and for one another, and we are so proud to still be here. Here’s to five more years and growing in the right ways.
The truth is, we are scared because this is scary. The truth is, the future is unknowable to all of us. The truth is, a lot of us are doing the best we can with what we have.
Scott believed that no matter what awful stuff life throws at you, it's #BetterThanDying. These three words were his motto during his treatment for glioblastoma. And we gotta say, that message feels especially relevant right now.
We know a lot of folks are feeling helpless lately. Like there's nothing they can do to really, truly help others in need. But *anything* you do is enough.
Like every other person and business in the world, we’re a little freaked out, a little anxious and extremely driven to figure out how we can best serve our community in a time of panic while also keeping our employees healthy (and PAID).
