LeAnn Hull is an author, motivational speaker, presenter, encourager, the Co-Affiliate Leader of the remarkable non-profit Helping Parents Heal group named Healing After Suicide and an inspiring role model for grief to healing to rebirth. Her book, titled How to Live When You Want to Die, tells the heartbreaking experience of losing her 16-year-old son to suicide in 2012. Andy was a great student, a star pitcher scouted by major league baseball teams, on his way to becoming an Eagle Scout, and he was dearly loved by his friends.
His suicide sent a piercing thunderbolt through the hearts of many thousands of people, and it also became the driving force behind LeAnn’s purpose-driven conviction to spread love, inspiration, and encouragement in the midst of her grief.
After Andy transitioned, LeAnn founded a non-profit organization called Andy Hull’s Sunshine Foundation, whose mission is to raise awareness of the high rate of suicide while providing teens with coping skills to deal with life’s challenges. With a "You Matter!" approach, the foundation both honors Andy’s legacy and saves lives by offering much-needed education, support, and encouragement.
