A firefly is a single, remarkable point of nature's light. It represents a moment of illumination that inspires us each and every time we catch a glimpse. 

Firefly is a tribute to my parents, Herbert and Elizabeth Anspach. The Herbert K. and Elizabeth M. Anspach Family Foundation was set up as the founding patron of Firefly, which officially launched in December 2006.

Both my parents were bright lights, an inspiration to many professionally and personally, who were unfortunately stricken by neurodegenerative diseases later in life. They were a source of illumination and inspiration to me, and the spark of Firefly Foundation.
