Family

Thank you for joining us at TedKennedy.com and for your interest in our family.

My husband and the Kennedy family have captured the hearts and minds of millions with their generous public service and dedication to ending injustice wherever they may find it.

In their careers, John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Edward Kennedy have been champions of the less fortunate, and they’ve worked tirelessly to meet the needs of working men and women. Their sisters Eunice Kennedy Shriver, Jean Kennedy Smith, and Patricia Kennedy Lawford have worked tirelessly as well, and their own accomplishments include founding the Special Olympics, serving as Ambassador to Ireland, and fighting for literacy.

The next generation of Kennedys have followed in their parents’ footsteps. Some have been elected to public office at the local, state and national level. Others have worked on behalf of human rights around the globe. Still others have volunteered at soup kitchens, on Indian reservations, and organized food banks. They have taught in Head Start programs, worked to preserve the environment, saved marine mammals, encouraged and inspired persons stricken with cancer, assisted the cause of civil rights, worked for justice for the physically and mentally challenged, supported training for health care providers, or worked to improve inner city schools.

Our family has always believed in public service and we know there are many different ways to serve our community and our country and make the world a better place.

I hope that you will join with us in working to end injustice and dedicate some of your own time to serving others.

Thank You,

Victoria Reggie Kennedy
