“This is a special year, and one where I hope we take extra time, to not just remember how she lived but to reflect on the life she continues to lead through so many, including the young changemakers with us today.

“My mother instilled in me, and in all of us, the drive to speak up and fight for a better world and now as a husband and a parent my mother’s voice is even stronger in my life.

“All of you have kept her voice alive, by showing the world how each small action counts, how kindness is still valued and how our world can be better if we chose to make it so.”
