The Linda & Keith Wellness Fund

Advancing Diabetes Awareness & Family Leadership Nationwide

 

Two siblings. One family. An enduring legacy of faith, courage, and purpose.

The Linda & Keith Wellness Fund was born from the lives — and lasting love — of Linda and Keith Pedescleaux, whose strength continues to light a path for families across the nation.

Linda’s Story

When Type 2 diabetes led to Calciphylaxis, a rare and excruciating condition, Linda Pedescleaux faced unthinkable pain with unshakable faith.

Her son, André Farr, never left her side. Every day, he sat with her in the hospital — praying, listening, and promising to honor her words. In their final conversations, Linda made a personal plea: “Take action. Help others understand. Make sure no family suffers like ours.”

Before her passing in 2023, that moment became the heartbeat of a movement — transforming one mother’s wish into a national mission of healing, education, and hope.

Keith’s Story

Her brother Keith Pedescleaux, who passed in 2020, lived with Type 1 diabetes — a lifelong battle that tested his body but never his spirit. Through discipline, humor, and faith, he showed what true courage looks like: quiet, consistent, and full of grace.

Together, their lives remind us that leadership begins with love — and that every act of compassion can ripple across generations.

Our Mission

The Linda & Keith Wellness Fund advances Farr’s Best’s commitment to faith, accountability, and wellness by:

  • Educating families on diabetes prevention, management, and early detection.

  • Empowering communities through leadership workshops, health screenings, and lifestyle initiatives.

  • Elevating awareness through advocacy, storytelling, and research that humanize the fight against diabetes.

Every contribution transforms awareness into action — delivering knowledge, faith, and resources directly to the families who need them most.

Why Their Legacy Matters

More than 38 million Americans live with diabetes, and millions more are at risk. The financial burden exceeds $400 billion annually, but the greatest cost is measured in moments lost — the birthdays missed, the dreams deferred, the families forever changed.

The Linda & Keith Wellness Fund turns that pain into purpose — transforming loss into leadership, and memory into movement.

This is not just about treatment. It’s about transformation — building healthier families, stronger communities, and a future where faith and wellness walk hand in hand.
