Challenge Coin

A bittersweet moment for us happens when we are able to create the perfect custom coin in celebration of one’s life. Below is a segment from Lisa Schnepp. Lisa is the sister of Leslie Anne Hulse, a police officer whose life was taken by cancer.

“Leslie Anne was a daughter, sister, friend, police officer and Christ warrior. She loved life, loved her work and family.  Her smile would light up a room. She never met a stranger and was always just a little kid at heart. Leslie was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 32. She endured multiple surgeries as well as chemo therapy. We thought the cancer was gone. But as cancer so often does, it came back stronger than ever. She endured more surgery, more therapy. Leslie continued to work throughout her cancer treatment and didn’t let it get her down. Her faith became even stronger and helped her to fight the good fight. Leslie passed away on September 28th, 2009, surrounded by friends and family. 

Leslie taught us all how to really live, to stay strong, and how to give it all to God. In all you do, glorify God. With the help of the Fishers Fire and Police Departments, a memorial fund has been set up in Leslie’s name. Money from the purchase of this coin will go into the fund. Our goal is to create an annual scholarship for a student interested in law enforcement, social work or a related field. Coins can be ordered through the fund website, www.lesliehulse.org. You can also hear Leslie tell her own story, see pictures of her life and learn about our fundraising efforts.”

The Leslie Hulse custom challenge coin is a 1 5/8" die struck Police challenge coin. The front of the memorial coin contains an image of Leslie in her police uniform. Her call sign for ERT is also displayed. The back of the custom coin contains a favorite bible verse and symbols for breast cancer and human trafficking.  Each coin comes packaged in a PVC pouch and includes a printed card containing a special message. Coins are $15 each and you can purchase the custom challenge coins here. All proceeds will go to the Leslie Hulse Legacy Fund for a yearly scholarship and other causes important to Leslie.
