The Holden Flynn Foundation, Inc.

Nicole and I always said that once Holden's heart issues were stabilized, we were going to do more for the CHD community. This past December our family took the steps to create a foundation in Holden's name to assist us financially when we had to relocate to Gainesville. With his passing, we are still going through with their plans, but changing the direction of the foundation to carry on Holden's fight and spirit.

As many of you know Holden always enjoy his wagon rides, (or parades as it was sometimes called). We'd take him all over the place, and the slightest pause was greeted to with a quick command of "Go!". As his health declined, the number of IV’s he required sometimes limited that wagon time, or made it difficult to travel because of the number of people needed to participate. It was tough for him, because Holden needed that time. It was his his time.

We are going to take a portion of the initial money donated to the Holden Flynn Fund and purchase of some wagons and cars fitted with IV poles for the hospital. We want to give other hospitalized children the opportunity to go on parades and experience those same joys and freedoms that Holden felt regularly. 

The ultimate goal of the Holden Flynn Fund is to create a foundation that will honor the spirit of our son and his battle with CHD. The ball is rolling, and in the coming weeks and months we will have more details as we assemble the appropriate paperwork. If anyone wants to assist, please feel free to email us, and we'll be in touch in the future.
