Ray Spooner’s End-of-Life Story

Jim Hannum, Sandy Hannum and Karen Retzer invite you to attend a moving story and discussion titled, “Hope and Dignity: Ray Spooner’s end of life story.”

Ray, who died from ALS in 2016, exemplified how to live while dying. When first diagnosed with ALS, he was determined to fulfill his dream of riding his bike 3,000 miles from San Diego, CA to St Augustine, FL. His widow, Rae Spooner, will present a short movie about Ray’s life and death and attendees will be offered an opportunity to reflect on their reactions to the story.

Rae Spooner is a retired special education teacher in the Champaign School District who lives in Urbana, Illinois. This free online webinar is sponsored by Compassion & Choices, Illinois, and is scheduled for Thursday, January 28 at noon. To register for this free seminar, click here.
