In honor of Aven hundreds of people across the country performed random acts of kindness on August 13th, 2023, the 2nd anniversary of Aven passing away. A variety of random acts were shared in hopes of bringing a smile to someones face and helping to spread awareness about Naegleria Fowleri. So many people were creative in coming up with acts of kindness that were special and unique to them. Flowers were delivered to neighbors, brownies made for shut-ins, bubbles passed out at church, popsicles handed out at the park, ice cream purchased for random customers, coffee for nurses, donuts for police man, encouraging messages on the sidewalk, the list goes on and on. It is our hope that spreading kindness in Avens memory will continue all year as we encourage people to “live, laugh, learn, love and play the Amazing Aven Way!
