When Megan O’Grady from Cape Coral was just 14 years old, five Dallas Police Officers were ambushed and fatally shot. After that horrific event, she was inspired to do something for the children of those officers, and she created the Blue Line Bears Foundation.
Seven years later, Megan and her volunteers have created and delivered over 1,500 bears from the uniforms of first responders who have been killed in the line of duty – from all over the U.S. and four different countries.
Megan is now a senior at UCF, and she still strives to personally deliver these very special bears to Florida families.
This weekend, she gave four custom bears made from our fallen hero Deputy Sheriff Blane Lane’s uniform shirts to his sister Maddix, and his children, Kate, Trace, and Kash. Each bear also wears a St. Michael’s medallion that has been blessed by a priest.
Our cups runneth over. 
May we all learn to care for one another like Megan does. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
