Dear Friends,
It's been a difficult few weeks for our organization. On Friday, October 23rd, Melissa Legare Brown passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. Melissa was a long time volunteer and Boon Project Board member, as well as a friend and/or teacher to several of our "Boonies" in our Courage Club. Her absence is already felt and we are grieving alongside a very large community of family, friends, and students. Please keep her family including her parents, brother, and husband in your prayers as they navigate the coming weeks and months while juggling unimaginable loss. Our organization is already working on plans to honor and carry on Melissa's legacy, and I look forward to sharing those plans with you in the future.
As an organization, we continue to navigate Covid-19 and try to find the balance of providing social support while also keeping our vulnerable population safe. We are in a bit of a "hybrid" model at the moment. We are alternating in person and virtual Courage Club events, while encouraging distanced workouts and providing support through Fitness Force. Our upcoming events are listed below in the newsletter.
Please read on to see what we have planned! If you have any questions, need more information, or would like to get involved- please reach out. Thank you for being a community of support to young adults fighting and surviving cancer in the Charleston area and beyond.
-Katherine Brown
Founder & Director
