Lenore Scatton has served as the Pennsylvania Director for the Praying Ninja Warrior Foundation. In this role, she faithfully supports the mission of the foundation by providing leadership, organization, and prayer support for children and families navigating serious illnesses and life challenges.
Lenore serves from her hometown of Weatherly, Pennsylvania, where she works to build and strengthen prayer networks throughout her community and across the state. She partners with families, churches, and volunteers to ensure that those facing difficult seasons are surrounded with prayer, encouragement, and compassionate support. She also hosts annual walk/runs and fundraising events to further the foundation’s outreach and impact.
Driven by deep faith and shaped by profound personal loss, Lenore has transformed her family’s struggles into a powerful ministry of advocacy and hope. After the passing of her daughter Dana Marie Scatton following her courageous battle with a terminal brain tumor, and the tragic loss of her daughter Lydia Joy Gundry due to fentanyl poisoning, Lenore felt called to serve families walking through grief, illness, and addiction. The loss of her son Joshua further strengthened her resolve to be a voice for awareness, compassion, and community action.
With a heart for intercessory prayer and a passion for helping others, Lenore continues to organize remembrance events, advocate for addiction awareness, and stand beside families in their most challenging moments. She is honored to serve in a ministry devoted to lifting up families with love, faith, resilience, and unwavering support.
