For Family, Adventure and hope. This is the story of a family leaving it all behind to cycle across America and save the lives of malnourished children. For the details of Luke’s vision and his WHY, check out Episode 6 of Inspired Conversations. This conversation (Episode 58) is about the journey. Luke and his family left it all behind to spend the Summer & Fall of 2014 on the road to raise awareness and funds for Severe Acute Malnutritioned children (stopsam.org).

He tells me about the reality of the trip, the connection with his family, the rough days, their re-entry back to ‘life as usual’ which is nothing of the sort. I appreciate his authenticity in sharing the impact of this journey and what he hopes to leave the listeners with. I find Luke truly inspiring!

He started STOPSAM, an organization to stop severe malnutrition in children because it’s possible. A 6 week treatment $50 and it saves a life

93% of children who go on this treatment, a one time treatment never need to go back on it. His commitment is 100% of money raised on the trip will be given to the cause. Click Here if you’d like to Donate
