Dig Deep for Mia

​

The Mia Taylor Foundation hopes you can "Dig Deep" within yourselves and overcome whatever challenge you are facing or loss you have sustained by allowing your inner resilience and determination to shine through. 

​

"Dig Deep" for Mia is a  mantra or motto that signifies digging deep within ourselves to make the world a better place, not only for our loved ones, but also for those in need. This meant a great deal to Mia, who gave so much of her time selflessly helping others.  From an early age, Mia's father would tell Mia to "Dig Deep" during challenging or difficult times.  "Dig Deep" was a common motto in the Taylor household, as this became Mia's mantra that helped remind her to be resilient and never give up during those challenging or difficult times.  Mia was also quick to tell her father to "Dig Deep" when she knew he needed to hear those words.  Since Mia's tragedy, her father has had to regularly remind himself of their common mantra, and even though Mia is not physically here to remind him, he can still hear her voice calling out - "Dig Deep, dad!"
