Board Member bio-Halley Williams

All of the board members on the Forrest Spence Fund Board are writing a little bio about themselves so you can learn a little more about each of them.  Our hope is for you see the passion we each have for the Forrest Spence Fund and helping families going through a difficult situation with their child.

My name is Halley Williams and I am a board member of the Forrest Spence Fund. I have been married to my husband and best friend, Ford, for almost 6 years. After we got married, I went to nursing school and have been practicing nursing for the last 3 years.

Ford and I got to know the Spence family when we moved to Memphis. We both attended the same church, and we lived down the street from one another for our first couple of years in Memphis. As I watched them go through the trials that they went through with Forrest, the Lord gave me a desire to help other families going through similar situations. Being a nurse, I am trained to meet both the medical and non medical needs of my patients. For the families that the Forrest Spence Fund helps, these non medical and emotional needs are very great. It has truly been an honor to be able to support and love families going through such difficult times with their children.

One of the main things that I do with the Forrest Spence Fund is I help plan the Forrest Spence 5K. The 5K is coming up on August 28 at Overton Park at 8 a.m. The 5K is one of the Fund’s biggest fundraisers and it helps us be able to provide for families with children who are critically or chronically ill. Help us help others by signing up TODAY for the Forrest Spence 5K. I promise it will be a day filled with a lot of fun for your family and a lot of hope for another family!
