Shaped by Faith Radio Guest This Week is Brittany Spence.
Brittany Spence, along with her husband David, founded the Forrest Spence Fund in memory of their son Forrest. Shortly after birth, Forrest developed complications and was transported to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, where he fought valiantly for life for 55 days before his illness overtook him.
The mission of the Forrest Spence Fund is to assist with the non-medical needs of critically or chronically ill children and their families throughout the Mid-South.
Brittany was born and raised in Hendersonville, Tennessee. She graduated with a Master’s degree in Elementary Education and Psychology from The University of Tennessee. She worked as a schoolteacher and youth director for several years before becoming the Executive Director of the Forrest Spence Fund. Brittany has received numerous awards including, We Believe in Memphis Program of the Year, Outstanding Young Philanthropist, Champion for Children Award and Style Blueprint Face of Memphis.
