Honor Leschel with
Love and Awareness

Our beloved daughter, mother, sister, and friend Leschel tragically passed away from a deadly blood clot at just 32 years old. In the wake of this unimaginable loss, our family felt compelled to take action.

Our family partnered with the National Blood Clot Alliance (NBCA) to raise awareness about the dangers of blood clots, starting right here in Brooklyn, so that no other family has to endure the pain we live with every day.

This year marks the 5th Annual BBQ in honor of Leschel, hosted by her family and friends. It is a day to celebrate her life and educate our community about life saving information. There will be free food and drinks, a raffle drawing, and a speech forum focused on learning the signs and symptoms of blood clots.

Please join us in person, or consider making a donation to the NBCA. Bring a loved one or a friend, because together we can save lives. Saving one life is like saving a million lives. Thank you for your support.
