Delaware’s 2018 Mother of the Year, Suzanne Farris, spoke about her children when she was honored with the distinction. Her son, Harrison, diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome as a young child, created GearUp, which helps teach children with special needs how to ride bikes. All four of her children have created volunteer organizations ranging from community service opportunities to writing cards to soldiers overseas and crisis responders.
