THE GRANNIES
 
Married in Canada in 2002, Carrie
(J.D.) and Elisia (R.N.) are mothers of three grown children
and grandmothers to Jarreth, their two-year old grandson.
They have been providing affordable relationship and estate
planning services to the gay and lesbian community for
over six years through their Rainbow
Law website. Through this one of a kind internet service
and at workshops and conferences around the country they
regularly help gay and lesbian families protect themselves
as much as possible.
In the summer of 2003, they completed the first Rainbow
Ride Across America cycling more than 2,500 miles from
Florida to San Diego. This past summer, the couple rode
a grueling 3,100 miles from San Francisco to New York
City for the second Ride. The third and final Rainbow
Ride will take place next summer and will cover the northern
U.S. from Seattle to Boston.
For their efforts, Carrie and Elisia have been interviewed
by NPR, covered by numerous local television news stations,
awarded an OUT 100 Award by OUT Magazine, named
Incredible Parents by And Baby Magazine and received
excellent ratings by Curve Magazine.
