Anthony was a young man who was devoted to his craft, dedicated to his goals, and lived his life in a positive and uplifting manner. His legacy is the Anthony Myers Movement established January 2019. #17 Strong continues to remind us that even tragic life events can have a positive aspect, a "silver lining." His silver lining is focused not only on "paying it forward," but reminds us of the importance of compassion, comfort and positivity when dealing with challenging problems and difficult times.
