Jennifer Trigilio was abused at the innocent age of 4. This is her amazing story of how she wouldn't let that define her. She has used that darkness in her life as motivation to create Jayla's Friends! It's an organization dedicated to the treatment and prevention of child abuse and neglect.

Jamie and Daryl Swanson felt alone and abandoned after their three children were diagnosed with special needs. Although they felt ostracized by family, friends and society, they remained faithful and kept praying for a sign or a light at end of the tunnel. It came in the way of food. All of their children have special dietary needs, and they often struggled to afford to feed them nutritious food. They realized they were not alone in this fight so they partnered with the Trooper Brinkerhoff Foundation to create a food distribution ministry to give our special needs community nutritious food at no cost! They have grown their ministry to host events where special needs family can feel safe, understood and loved as well.

WNY Basketball legends Dave Mallon and Brian Dux tell their story of how Brian served as a mentor for Dave throughout college and professionally in Europe. As teammates they helped the Guildford Heat with the championship in the British Basketball League, where Brian was the MVP. After this, Brian was in a near fatal car accident. The doctors told his family to expect the worse. They didn't know Brian. Brian has defied all the odds laid before him and is now back on the court coaching at the high school level. It's a truly amazing story. Enjoy!

It was well beyond my teenage years before I admitted it, but I suffered from depression as a teen. In today's episode I talk about my experience going through it and what helped me. I also discuss parental characteristics that I observed during my coaching days that were common among the more successful and happier student athletes.

Hey Superhero Nation! Here is episode 3 of my survivor series! Today I am joined by Steve's wife Beth Anne and brother Mark to talk about the type of man and superhero Steve was. Steve lost his fight with cancer two years ago, but his spirit and legacy will live on through the Steven Leonard Jr Foundation and the opening of the The Scuba Zone at Canisius College to serve as a mentoring program to help 500+ students per year! Please consider donating to our fundraiser "Burpees For Steve" below to raise funds for the The Zone. Also, check out Blurbs Against Buffalo, an expansion pack for Cards Against Humanity, that Steve created and is being sold locally in Buffalo. It will make for an excellent stocking stuffer!
