MK had the privilege to have a very rich and meaningful conversation with the absolutely wonderful Andy Mc Call.
Andy wears a lot of hats: father, husband, coach, teacher, author, volunteer, advocate. No matter what role he’s in, Andy is giving his all and inspiring those around him.Andy is a career teacher and coach who has three children, including daughter, Penelope, who, sadly, passed away at age two, due to severe special needs and cancer. Andy kept a blog during Penelope's life, which he turned into a book entitled, Pigtails & Steel, which is available on Amazon. 
His experience has led to his dedication as a volunteer at St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital as well as with Dads of Steele, a charity that supports dads who have lost a child. Andy credits his family, his faith and The League of Ordinary Men, a local book club for helping him persevere the challenges he and his family has endured. 

“Through this, I get to share Penelope with so many people and use her story to help make the lives of other children and families a little better each time I visit Memphis,” he said. “It isn’t my work, but it is hers and continues her legacy. She wasn’t on this Earth very long, but her impact will last way beyond any of our lives.”
