Micah's Hugs winner of North Bay Spirit Award for fight against addiction - There's a link to a video on this in the Press Democrat article. Here it is on YouTube.

Micah Jr was the grandson of Ken and Elizabeth Sawyer. I loved it that there were three generations of Sawyers working for Sawyer construction: Ken, Micah, and Micah Jr. It was so sad when Micah died. Micah Hugs not only helps others Micah and Michelle and Micah's mother Denise grieve for the truly tragic loss of Micah Jr., it helps all of us. - DC
