SCOPED #91 FT. THE RIDE AWAY MUSIC FESTIVAL

This was bittersweet for me. I got to reconnect with my good friend, Leah and finally meet her husband, Chris. However, very unfortunate circumstances:
Leah lost her son Parker in 2018....something no parent should have to go through. I was honored to sit down with Leah and Chris to help share this story with you.
In Parker's honor, they are throwing the Ride Away Music Fest on October 19th at Suwannee Town Center from 2-10pm. I'm honored to emcee this event and hope to see as many people there that can make it.
If you cry easily, have a box of tissues at the ready. I had to hold back tears several times throughout.
But this is a VERY important episode and I really hope you give it a listen.
