Kelsey Shannon Bartol Harrington was an angel on Earth.
In her short and challenged life, she touched many. Kelsey taught patience, acceptance, and unconditional love.
Sadly, Kelsey passed away in June, 2005.
In our sadness, the Harrington and Provost Families felt it necessary to spread Kelsey’s love and life’s teachings. The Kelsey Shannon Harrington Foundation was born to celebrate her life. In her spirit, it is our goal to help other children and families on their journeys.
