Ainsley is the daughter of Kim and Lori Rossiter. Kim, or ‘Rooster’, is a retired Marine Corps Major. Born in the middle of three children in 2003, Ainsley, was diagnosed with Infantile Neuroaxonal Dystrophy (INAD) just before turning four years of age. INAD is an extremely rare terminal illness that has slowly caused global paralysis. When Ainsley went for her first jog during a local road race in 2008, she gave a radiant wind-induced smile that anyone would envy. In an instant, running provided the family with a therapeutic means to fight the devastation associated with learning and trying to live with the fact that sweet Ainsley had a terminal illness that would eventually take her to heaven in February of 2016.

Mikayla was a sweet soul who inspired many with her bravery, courage, perseverance, and eternal joy. Mikayla had a special way of reminding those around her of what is most important in life. Some of Mikayla's favorite things were playtime with daddy, running in races with mommy, swimming and aqua therapy, playing with shiny toys and mirrors in her bed, finding clever ways to avoid the craziness of her younger sisters, and getting out of her clothes and the straps of her adaptive equipment.

Karli loved riding with Ainsley’s Angels and being included. She was always very patient, loving and forgiving. Her presence in any room made the air lighter and brighter. She loved music, because music could turn any day into a better one. She liked the small things in life; a warm bubble bath, watching Disney movies, listening to good music, and feeling the wind in her hair! She enjoyed traveling with her family, to MN every summer throughout her life, the Disney Cruise and Disney World.

Tyler Glenn Beatty lived with a heart full of compassion and a soul that saw the broken and loved them anyway. His journey through recovery and redemption inspired everyone around him. Though his time here was short, his impact was eternal. He was my son and my best friend. I strive to make sure his legacy lives on—offering hope, healing, and a second chance to those still fighting. His light continues to lead others home.
