When I was about 6 years old, I contracted a rare fungus that caused my scalp to literally fall off and it landed me in the Iowa City Children’s Hospital. I was completely terrified and scared, having no idea what was going to happen next. My mom, being the wise woman she is, brought Star Wars: A New Hope from the media library - seeing Luke’s journey and him overcoming insurmountable obstacles along with the amazing care of the staff at the Iowa City Children’s hospital, gave me the hope that I was going to be ok. Since then, it has been my goal to bring that same hope and inspiration to others like Luke did for me all those years ago. I’m beyond honored to be able to use my popularity/influence from being a part of the Star Wars Television Universe: Book of Boba Fett, Kenobi, & Mandalorian S3, to pay it forward to where it all began & would benefit other children who are looking for a little hope & inspiration during uncertain times. Thank you all so much for your support in this endeavor, you my friends are the TRUE HEROES in this galaxy and I can not thank you enough!
May The Force Be With You, Always - Rory
