Well, there is another type of advocate that needs to be acknowledged. There is the advocate who shares his words of encouragement, his tips for our children and the information that every parent needs to have to provide the best life for his/her child. I want to share a recent post from Mr. Stuart Duncan who shared a wonderful, but tough post. This is that post:

I share this with you because personally, I have great admiration for Stuart. Since starting F.A.A.S.T., I have looked to Stuart as an example, as a mentor and even though I have not met him face to face, a friend. Stuart Duncan has given so much of himself, I hope that others will stop and think about how difficult his job is and how much love and dedication has gone into his words of encouragement and wisdom. Please take a moment to give him your support and most of all, let him know how much you appreciate having an advocate on the side of our children.
Here is a short video that shows the impact that Stuart Duncan has made around the world. The hope this young Dad has given can never be overlooked and from F.A.A.S.T. I thank you Stuart!
