🏃‍♀️Let's Cheer for a Great Cause! 🏃‍♂️

On Sunday, August 18, a group of incredible individuals is lacing up their running shoes for a fantastic cause. They're participating in the Falmouth Road Race to raise funds for the Boston North Cancer Association.

Let's give a big shoutout to these inspiring runners:

👟 Kaleigh Sabourin, Team Captain
👟 Hailey Lovell
👟 Amy Linnell
👟 James Whelan
👟 Mark Mahoney

Each step they take during this race will not only challenge their limits but will also make a significant impact on the lives of those affected by cancer. The Boston North Cancer Association does outstanding work to support patients, families, and research initiatives, and your support can help them continue this vital mission.

If you want to be a part of this incredible effort, you can show your support by making a donation through the following link: bit.ly/BNCA-FRR-24

Let's come together and rally behind these runners as they strive to make a difference. Your encouragement and contributions mean the world to them and to everyone battling cancer. Go Team BNCA! 🙌

Kaleigh Sabourin was 3 months pregnant with her first child when she knew she was saying goodbye to her mother. Kaleigh now has two children, 5-year-old Kennedy, who her mother named; and 3-year-old little Mary. Navigating motherhood without her own mother has been difficult. Kaleigh explains, “My mother was my best friend, a vice president of a home care company, and a board member of the Boston North Cancer Association, Inc.. The Boston North Cancer Association has a Scholarship in my mother's name, and everything I raise running in the Falmouth Road Race will directly go towards my mother's scholarship.” The Mary Barbuzzi Breast Cancer Memorial Scholarship is awarded annually to a college-bound north of Boston high school senior whose parent is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer, survived breast cancer treatment, or passed away from breast cancer.

Boston North Cancer Association, Inc. Enhances Patient Care with Radiant WrapsTM Donation to Local Oncology Departments

In an inspiring display of community support and compassion, the Boston North Cancer Association, Inc. (BNCA) continues its mission to make a significant impact on cancer care north of Boston. With a focus on funding special projects related to the prevention, research, education, and care of cancer, BNCA has taken a step further in directly uplifting patients undergoing treatment. A recent initiative saw the donation of Radiant WrapsTM to the Oncology Radiation Department at Beth Israel Lahey Hospital and Medical Center’s Peabody location, marking a notable advancement in patient care and comfort.

Radiant Wraps are not just any piece of hospital attire; they are thoughtfully designed gowns tailored specifically for breast cancer patients undergoing radiation treatments. These designer gowns offer a flattering, stylish, and much more personalized alternative to the traditional hospital gowns. By doing so, they play a crucial role in boosting patients’ confidence, making them feel pretty and secure, and, more importantly, maintaining their dignity during a challenging time in their lives.

The relationship between BNCA and the Beth Israel Lahey Medical Center Peabody Oncology Radiation department dates back to 2016 when the medical center first submitted grant requests to BNCA. These initial efforts laid the groundwork for a partnership that would see a significant increase in support over the years. Recognizing the profound impact these wraps have on patients’ well-being, BNCA launched the Community Outreach Grant Program in 2020. This program was designed to extend its reach, allowing the association to gift Radiant Wraps to both the Lahey Medical Center and the Mass General Cancer Center Danvers.

Fast forward to 2024, and BNCA’s commitment to supporting cancer patients has only deepened. This year, the association increased its donation, providing 100 Radiant Wraps to each center. This generous contribution underscores BNCA’s dedication to not only supporting cancer care initiatives but also directly enhancing the patient experience. By providing these wraps, BNCA helps to bring a sense of normalcy and positivity to the treatment process, a small yet significant comfort during a patient’s cancer journey.

This initiative is a testament to the power of community, compassion, and the ongoing efforts to improve cancer care. The Boston North Cancer Association’s donation of Radiant Wraps to local oncology departments exemplifies their unwavering support for both patients and healthcare providers in the communities north of Boston. Through such acts of kindness and support, BNCA continues to make a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer, one patient at a time.

We are thrilled to share some amazing news with all of you! The Boston North Cancer Association's Falmouth Road Race team has truly outdone itself, raising an incredible $7,500 for BNCA and the Mary Barbuzzi Breast Cancer Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded annually to an inspiring college-bound high school senior north of Boston, whose parent is currently fighting, survived, or sadly lost their battle against breast cancer.

A special shoutout goes to Kaleigh Barbuzzi, the driving force behind this extraordinary effort! Kaleigh, the daughter of the late Mary Barbuzzi, has led the charge with unyielding determination and a heart full of compassion. Her commitment to making a difference in the lives of these deserving young scholars is nothing short of remarkable.

Her impact in the field of home care continues to touch lives and inspire others to give back.

The Mary Barbuzzi Breast Cancer Memorial Scholarship is a heartfelt tribute to Mary's enduring spirit and her dedication to supporting families affected by breast cancer. Kaleigh's leadership in rallying the Falmouth Road Race team to raise funds for this scholarship is a testament to her mother's legacy and her own incredible character.
