Mother of a Fallen Soldier -
Help Ginny GO BIG!

Click above to see her video.
Ginny at Soldier son's grave

"As a mother, I am devastated by the loss of my son. As an educator, I know there are measures we can take to ensure another mother will not needlessly suffer the same loss."

"Bart's story is not as unique as we would like to think. The Army reports that soldier suicides are up 22% from 2007 to 2008. Bart's mother, Ginny, wants to end the cycle of violence by seeing that every military family receives the specialized emotional training they need to cope with the unique stress of deployment and demands of a soldier's life. Bart's motto was
'GO BIG or go home,'
and now, so is Ginny's."
