Putting your kids on the Seattle ski bus? Here’s what to know

This is a great tradition, but you need to go in prepared.

Following up to see if you have any interest in covering the heartwarming story, below? As a reminder, inspired by his grandmother, 17-year-old Luke Torrey has been working tirelessly to raise $50,000 to aid in the fight against Alzheimer’s & dementia among older adults in the state of Washington. Luke’s goal is to provide every senior living in Memory Care facilities across the state – which he estimates is about 500 people – with a Joy for All Companion Pet Cat or Pup, which are proven to ease anxiety, alleviate feelings of loneliness, and provide recipients with a sense of companionship – particularly has the restrictions resulting from COVID-19 are still looming. Additional information can be found at Luke’s website. As of today Luke has raised just over $15,000 in support of his mission. If interested in telling this inspiring story, Luke Torrey is local to the state of Washington – just outside of Seattle in King County – and is available to chat with you any time. Thank you!
