Hey Grizzly Family,
We come to you with some very difficult news from the Heard family. David Heard, father of Class of 2026 athlete John Heard, was involved in a serious accident on Sunday, March 29, while traveling to the S.O.T.O. Spring Meet with his eldest daughter.
David is currently in the ICU, and the family is facing an incredibly challenging and uncertain road ahead.
Nothing can truly prepare anyone for a moment like this, especially a family as strong and supportive as the Heards. Right now, they need all of us.
Please visit the link in our bio for ways to support, including a GoFundMe and a Meal Train to help Marilee and the kids during this time as they stand by David’s side.
Let’s come together as a Grizzly community and show up for one of our own.
Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers are with the Heard family. 🧡🖤
