Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum

O’Donnell Impact Windows and Storm Protection – Marketing Director
Amy Thornton is a Florida transplant by way of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. She followed her heart and the lure of Disney World, (her favorite place) down here in 2007 and spends her days working at O’Donnell Storm Protection, reading, snuggling with her three cats, and laughing with her husband.
Captivated by the belief of spreading kindness, Amy is always looking for ways to help others and bring joy. Involving herself with local charitable organizations, including Tykes and Teens has allowed Amy to gain knowledge of the nonprofit world. After meeting Christina Stamper at a local chamber event, Amy fell in love with the mission of Madison’s Miracles and feels blessed to be on their Board of Directions and the comfort, support and love they provide to families who suffer such a great loss.
