Kellie Thompson Shiley was just 31 years old when she unexpectedly passed away after complications from giving birth to her twin daughters in July of 2012. She also left behind a loving husband and 2-year-old son. She was a one of a kind person who touched so many lives and continues to inspire many. She was an accomplished scholar-athlete, trusted and hysterical friend, determined and driven co-worker, loving and supportive sister, aunt, and daughter, loyal cousin and niece, and most importantly amazing wife and mother. Holding an annual event in her honor that combines so many of her loves is just one way, for those who knew her or her story, to annually celebrate her life as well as help her children have the lives that she hoped and dreamed they would. We hope you will support this mission and event that means so much, to so many.
