Heather Mansson

Heather Manson is a mother, a fighter, a healer, and a truth-teller. 

Her 11-year-old daughter, Parker, was diagnosed with a rare form of soft tissue sarcoma in 2020—just after their family relocated to Park City in the midst of the pandemic. Over 2 years, Parker endured surgeries, radiation, and rounds of chemo with strength. But in May of 2022, Heather faced the unthinkable—losing her daughter. 

Yet through this immense pain, Heather has chosen purpose. She founded the Little p Project, a nonprofit dedicated to raising money for pediatric sarcoma research and supporting other families walking the same impossible path. She’s a former pharmacist turned yoga teacher, a mother still raising two remarkable teens, and a woman showing us what grace through grief looks like.

Her story is one of unimaginable heartbreak—but also of resilience, love, and legacy. It’s a story that needs to be heard.

Kathi Holzer

After retiring from a long, fulfilling career in physical education, I unexpectedly discovered a deep love for art and an urge to create it myself. It must have been immediately apparent because my husband happily added onto our outdoor patio and fashioned a studio for me. Painting and drawing became my new passion.

I'm now following a path that brings me so much joy and fulfillment. It is truly a new world for me, and I can't imagine missing a day in that world's endless possibilities for my art.
