Compassionate Friends MA 2025 Walk To Remember · 4 October 2025 · Start fundraising for this event

With your help we can effectively reach bereaved grandparents, parents and siblings suffering the loss of a child and provide them with the support that we offer through self help groups, encouragement, meetings and literature.

Story

My parents and I lost my 16-year-old brother Mark, 18 years ago, to Leukemia. Mark fought a four-year extremely long battle; he went through nonstop chemo, radiation, blood transfusions, spinal taps, bone marrow transplant, as well as stem transplants. He stayed extremely strong and determined all the way to his last breath.

This year is harder; on June 18, 2025, my Mom and I lost my Dad, Jack. Just like Mark, Dad fought a 3-year battle with Multiple Myeloma, another form of blood cancer.

The Compassionate Friends has been a big part of my life. The Compassionate Friends is a non-profit self-help grief support organization helping bereaved parents, siblings, and grandparents through their grief journey following the loss of their child, sibling, or grandchild. With your donation, we can provide HOPE to our bereaved families.

Thank you so much for your generosity in advance.
