Words from Noah
Noah’s story in three lines
- A boy who loved hockey, the lake and his family one shift at a time.
- A fighter who found his words during rehab one affirmation at a time.
- A legacy that lives on in seven people one heartbeat at a time.
During his rehabilitation, Noah wrote a series of affirmations: I am kind, I am strong, I am helpful, I am a leader, I can do hard things, I can reach my goals, I am resilient, I am brave, I am loved. Today they are the foundation of the NoahStrong movement.
