Coach Erik Landswick’s daughter….

For those of you who don't know, my dad had a major stroke back in September.
Thankfully, he's improving but still has a long road to recovery. The past couple of months have been overwhelming for me and my family. My dad is the
strongest, most passionate, kindest, and most selfless person I know. A GoFundMe has been set up to help our family with expenses. Any donations are immensely appreciated! 🩵
