Patrick's Purpose Foundation

Happy heavenly 19th birthday to our Patrick! We imagine that today you’re spending the day hanging at the Wedge with your GoPro, taking down a massive plate of blue crab at the river in Maryland, celebrating with your birthday buddy, cooking up some breakfast burgers on the Snake in Idaho, hanging out with your best buds, playing football with your best friends, lounging with a puppy on a beach in NZ, relaxing on a hammock in Maryland, or just being your usual goofball self. We can’t celebrate with you, so we will celebrate for you and the incredible 16 birthday we did get to share. We love you and we’ll see you soon! #PT26 #BeInclusive
