Just Finish the Race Laurie Lee

"Laurie and Johnny Lee have shown tremendous strength and courage since a tragic car accident claimed the life of their son, Josh. Their ability to share the story of Josh's death while dealing with their own personal grief is awe-inspiring. Encouraging others to "Just Finish the Race" is shared with love, respect, humility, and brutal honesty and it encourages others to realize that they will have battles but they just have to fight to overcome them. Laurie's poetry, which is raw and filled with emotions that only a parent who has lost a child could experience, is equally commendable. Just like their message, her poems tell what inspiration Josh was and how numerous people were touched by the way he lived his life."
