Mikey?s Angels is a team created in loving memory of our brother, Mikey Waters. Diagnosed with autism as a child, Mikey lived life with incredible joy and heart. He lit up every room he entered and touched everyone he met. Mikey loved riding his scooter, eating cheesy bread, and spending time with his family. We are forever grateful to the many people who supported and cared for him throughout his life. Mikey passed away on September 27, 2015, but his spirit continues to inspire us. We walk in his honor to support and bring hope to children like him.
