Mighty Meredith Project
Board of Directors
Meredith Casey - Founder
Meredith is reason for the existence of the Mighty Meredith Project. In an effort to create a new normal, one of her many physicians encouraged Meredith to get involved with something that would help replace what she had lost in terms of her participation in contact sports/activities, and to help with the associated psychological impact of having a chronic medical condition. Therefore, after several months of discussing the purpose and potential charitable offerings, the Mighty Meredith Project was born.
Today, Meredith is a proud 7th grader at the North Reading Middle School - Home of the Hornets. She is the middle child of three girls and makes people aware all the time she is the "Middle Child". She loves everything pink, and if "sparkle" were a color it would be her favorite; hence the name of the family's two cats: "Shimmer" and "Sparkle". She has an incredible fashion sense and just loves to shop, making Paris her ideal travel destination. In addition to her love for everything "pink and sparkle", Meredith is an avid dancer, a great artist, an amazing baker, and loves to go on family vacations - especially the beach. Most of all, she is forever thankful for her friends and family who have been, and continue to be by her side through this journey.
