Make A Difference Minute: No One Should Fight Alone

Love Lives On: The Legacy of Aubrey

So many stories deserve to be told because they remind us that love doesn’t end when someone is gone. On tonight's show, you’ll meet Allen, Amy, & Abby Tucker, founders of Aubrey's Love Foundation, as they share the life of their daughter & sister, Aubrey, and how they have turned unimaginable loss into a mission of hope, kindness, scholarships, and support for students and schools across North Alabama. This interview is especially personal to me. My childhood friend, Chad Collins, told me about Aubrey’s Love while he was battling the illness that would eventually take his life. He wanted me to help share this story. Tonight, I’m honored to do just that in his memory. I hope you’ll join us for this conversation about faith, family, resilience, and choosing to let love continue making a difference long after loss. Real stories. Real people. Real impact.

Make A Difference Minute: No One Should Fight Alone

On this Make a Difference Minute, I have Camden Reams from Scottsboro, Alabama, as he shares what life is really like living with type 1 diabetes. Camden says managing diabetes isn’t something he could imagine doing alone. The love and support of his parents, Jason and Estell, have helped him face the daily challenges that come with the disease. He also credits his school nurses, Sally Black & Mashara Mefford-Miller, for making sure he’s safe, helping him manage his blood sugar, and giving him the confidence to return to class and the football field. One of Camden’s most powerful reminders is that type 1 diabetes isn’t something to joke about. It’s a lifelong condition that requires constant attention, discipline, and support from the people around you. His story reminds us that while no one chooses their battles, no one should have to fight them alone.

Make A Difference Minute: A Legacy that Saves Lives

On this Make a Difference Minute, I have Julie Garner, founder of Project Yellow Light, as she shares the heartbreaking story that inspired a national movement for safe driving. In 2007, Julie's 16-year-old son, Hunter, was killed in a car crash. In the midst of unimaginable grief, Julie, her husband, and their daughter made the decision to honor Hunter's memory by helping protect other young drivers. What began as a family's response to tragedy has grown into Project Yellow Light, a nationwide campaign raising awareness about distracted driving. Julie says many young drivers simply don't realize how dangerous driving can be. Some even believe being able to text while driving makes them a "good driver." Her message is clear and simple: when you're behind the wheel, put the phone away and focus on driving. Because no text message, social media post, or notification is worth a life.

More Than Memory Loss: The Behavioral Reality of Alzheimer’s

On this Make a Difference Minute, Dr. George T. Grossberg shares an important perspective on Alzheimer’s disease that many families don’t expect. While memory loss is often the most recognized symptom, behavioral changes like anxiety, irritability, paranoia, and even hallucinations can be just as common and often more challenging. These symptoms, known as Alzheimer’s-related psychosis, can deeply impact both the individual and their caregivers. Dr. Grossberg explains what these behaviors look like, why they happen, and why awareness is so important for families navigating this journey.
