Skate for good!

Meredith Lenti and Emily Fitzpatrick have been nominated for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) 2025 Greater Connecticut Student Visionaries of the Year campaign.
Student Visionaries of the Year is a seven-week leadership development program that runs through March 21st, 2025, to raise money to help blood cancer patients not only survive but thrive after treatment.
Meredith and Emily have created a team, Skaters for Strength, with committed friends and family to partner with them on this journey. Meredith and Emily met at the Rinks at Shelton through their love of figure skating and have been close friends and teammates for many years.
