On 6/4/22 I wrote a post about the loss of my granddaughter, Ciré Forman. In that post, I shared with my readers that one of my granddaughter’s goals was to establish a foundation or sports organization that would help to make sports more inclusive and accessible. An organization open to those with varying abilities.
I am proud to announce that we have officially launched the Ciré A. Forman All 4 Sports Foundation.
Unfortunately, (but not really) the time that I would typically dedicate to researching, writing, and editing a post was spent setting up the foundation and assisting with the first official fundraiser. On 1/13, Camden Catholic High School paid tribute to and celebrated Ciré by retiring her jersey in an emotional and bittersweet ceremony. They also announced a scholarship in her name. Our family is truly honored for this recognition of our amazing girl.
The foundation’s first sold-out fundraising event took place immediately after. Friends, family, and supporters gathered together for a bowling party. As I sat there watching everyone have a great time bowling, I couldn’t help but think how much fun Ciré would have had kicking everyone’s ass in yet another sport! (Are we calling bowling a sport?)
I am researching and have started several posts. I just haven’t found the time to finish any of them. I am hopeful I can find the motivation, time, and energy to recommit to my consistent blog posting. I really do enjoy sharing anti-aging and wellness information.
The past few weeks have just been challenging and quite busy, (Between the holidays, launching the foundation, and the 1/13 events.) so I thank you in advance for your patience and continued support!……uh, and your donation! (Please visit the foundation site for details on how you can contribute to Ciré’s dream.)

You TOO are amazing. She would be so proud of you……
Thank you, Barb. She would have laughed at me cursing at the computer while trying to create the website with my non-technical ass. I can hear her now saying, “Mom Mom, what are you doing?”
And AMAZING she most certainly was…
Even describing her as “amazing” feels incommensurate. I’m not sure the right word exists. (yeah, I had to look that shit up!)
