Today Sparky and Rescue 51 attended Keegan's 2nd Annual Touch a Truck event. Sparky made many new friends, while the crew from Rescue 51 and North Penn Fire Company did a vehicle rescue demonstration.

Keegan Robert Langerfeld was born on October 10, 2020 and our world immediately changed for the better. From the very moment he entered this world, we fell completely head over heels in love with our bleach blonde, blue eyed, happy baby boy. Keegan was a sweet, lovable, adventurous, shy boy who immediately lit up every room he crawled in to. Every memory made was filled with joy, laughter, and so much love. On the morning of what would have been his first birthday party, October 16, 2021, Keegan passed away suddenly but peacefully in his sleep. To this day, we have no answer as to why Keegan is no longer with us, and his death has been declared as SUDC (Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood). While we wish more than anything that he was still here with us, and we will spend the rest of our lives missing him, we will be just as thankful for the greatest 371 days we could have ever asked for.

Almost immediately after Keegan passed, we constantly thought about how he never got to have the birthday celebration every child deserves. We discussed long and hard about how we wanted to celebrate his next birthday, if at all, but we knew we needed to for our boy. After months of planning, Keegan's Touch-A-Truck came to light. Our first year completely exceeded every expectation we ever had. With over 900 in attendance, we raised over $17,000! Last year, at the very first Keegan's Touch-A-Truck event, a parent who we had never met before stopped me to say "thank you so much for bringing this event to our community and for teaching us all about SUDC. We will think of Keegan always". From the moment on, we knew this event needed to happen every year. We know once again you will help us let Keegan know how much he is loved in this world.

All proceeds of this event go towards the SUDC Foundation and the Keegan Cares initiative at the Adalyn Rose Foundation.
