VIDEO/PHOTOS: Nearly six years after Appleton firefighter Mitch Lundgaard was shot and killed in the line of duty, his family continues to give back to the community that supported them through the unimaginable tragedy. On Tuesday, the Lundgaard Love Foundation made a lifesaving donation to the Appleton Area School District.
Mitch Lundgaard’s widow says the gift is fitting, because Mitch was the most prepared person she’d ever met. According to Lindsey Lundgaard Lindberg, “Whether it was in his work as a firefighter, or just in everyday life, he believed deeply in being prepared for anything. He also believed in protecting people, especially our kids.” And that’s why the Lundgaard Love Foundation, created in memory of Mitch Lundgaard, is donating 25 bleeding control kit cabinets to all the schools in the Appleton Area School District.
