About

LFW Foundation is dedicated to providing tools and information for families to begin their journey of building a legacy of health and wellness. Our endeavor is to share our family's story, The Thomas Family and our battle with diabetes. LFW Foundation was founded in March 2012 because of two women: Laura Williams & Karen Merricks. On January 7, 2012, Karen suddenly passed away and 4 days later on January 11th our family was stricken with the loss of Laura. Both passed away due to diabetes complications.  We are sharing our story to encourage and empower other families who are battling genetic illnesses and give them hope, love, and support knowing that our tragedies and pain has been transformed into purpose and service.
One by one we can change the footprint of our families from sickness and disease to a life of health and vitality.
This foundation is dedicated to the memory of Laura and Karen and the Thomas family. Our purpose is to keep their legacy alive as we Rajesh a strand against diabetes and embrace healthy living.

Family.....where life begins and legacy transcends.
