A LOVE STORY
A split second changed Mark Raymond Jr.'s life, but it didn't define what came next.
When his mother, Rhonda, left her career to become his full-time caregiver, the love that carried one family forward would eventually become the foundation for an entire community.
Together, they built the Split Second Foundation, creating spaces, resources, and advocacy that empower people with disabilities to live with greater independence, opportunity, and belonging.
Ten years later, that story is being transformed into a permanent work of art—built by the very community it inspired.
Now it's your turn to take part in this story of love.
