Micalizzi’s Italian Ice

LivFree, our family and all of the families we have been able to assist have been directly impacted by these people.

Our first day of Lauren’s remission weekend was fun filed. We started off with “bring your Daddy to dance day”. Lauren was able to show off her newly learned dance skills and had her Dad participate as well (he nearly threw his back out trying to pirouette 🤣). Next we were off to New York […]
