Early in my mothering career I had a fellow mom tell me that I should be my child's biggest advocate. That if I'm not, who is? I don't think I fully grasped what that meant until my children began to face challenges.

In this month's issue we meet a local mom who embraced the challenges that her child was going to face and is an advocate not only for him, but for other special needs children in the community. Lainie Armstrong's For the Love of Chance Center is a group that you'll definitely want to read about and who knows, maybe this will be a group that you and your family would like to help support in one way or another.

We also feature one of Wichita’s local celebrities, Shocker basketball coach Greg Marshall. He and his family sat down to talk about favorite pastimes, awesome family trips with the team and more.

Gregg Marshall’s name was spelled incorrectly in our November issue and we listed his family as moving from North Carolina rather than South Carolina where Winthrop University is located. We printed the coach’s name as Greg while it should have been Gregg. Also worth mentioning is the typo in the second paragraph under the section titled, “Taking over the Shockers.” The sentence should have read, “I knew that this program had everything necessary to achieve and maintain success,” said Marshall.
