Honoring Oliver's Legacy
On February 26, 2025 in a galaxy not so far away was born a little boy who was destined to change the world. Oliver Paul Beckett Reynolds, our Obi-Wan (OB-1), made his appearance in this world, immediately changing the lives of those around him. Little did we know that merely hours after his perfect arrival, Oliver would be taken by star fighter (helicopter) to the NICU at Shand‘s children hospital in Gainesville, Florida. With the strength of the force in him, he fought for an incredible nine days, as Master Jedis (the medical staff) raced to find the answers. Unfortunately, our young padawan was diagnosed with a rare mitochondrial genetic disorder, Combined oxidative phosphorylation disorder, that not even the force itself could withstand. OB-1 fulfilled his Jedi mission here on planet Earth, a mission so full of love, joy and light. Yet, he and his story live on in the Force, changing and guiding us all for the better with every new day!
A gentle Jedi reminder from Oliver: “There is no ignorance; there is knowledge. There is no passion; there is serenity. There is no death; there is the Force”
Thank you for joining us as we raise awareness for mitochondrial disorders, fundraise for further research, and honor our bright young patawan Oliver Paul Beckett Reynolds.
