Porch pirates, meet consequences.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recently learned the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is terminating seven grants awarded to the organization.

These grants supported a range of essential child health initiatives, including reducing sudden infant mortality, expanding rural healthcare access, promoting mental health, supporting adolescent health services, caring for children with congenital anomalies, facilitating early autism diagnosis, and preventing fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.

The Academy is proud of the work accomplished through these programs and commends its staff, pediatricians, and partners for their commitment. The abrupt termination of funding will likely have far-reaching consequences for the health and well-being of infants, children, and families across America.

One of my favorite memories with Chuck Leonard is when I talked him into joining me for the Literacy Coalition’s Great Grown-Up Spelling Bee.

Chuck is an excellent speller. He’s good at just about everything. His trivia knowledge is unmatched, news writing impeccable, he could anchor a newscast in his sleep. He has taught me so much over the years.

What I failed to mention to Chuck beforehand was one small detail: I am an abysmal outloud speller. Truly terrible. 😬

When we got on stage, I think Chuck believed we had a shot at winning — and then Ric Smith asked me to spell doughnut. 🍩 Very quickly, Chuck realized while “Lizzy” was decent at talking on TV, I am spectacularly bad at spelling.

😆 Chuck has a way of communicating with a simple look. The picture below illustrates just that!!

We had a ball. The audience was entertained. We laughed until we cried. They invited us back the next year. And of course Chuck showed up.

Chuck is in hospice care, and my heart is with him, his family, and everyone who loves him.

What a legend.
