Finding our purpose
FlyLikeMike Foundation Inc. was created in loving memory of Michael Pearson, who died by suicide on February 23, 2024 at the age of 16. This foundation honors his spirit, his life, and the impact he had and continues to have on those who love him. In his name, we work to bring light, hope, connection and healing to others affected by suicide loss or struggling with their own battles and to contribute meaningfully to the prevention of suicide through awareness, education, and community-based action.
