Brianne had a wonderful turnout at the Bake for Hope Event at the Higher Grounds in Hallowell. Between 100-150 folks showed up to show their support, meet Brianne and enjoy some wonderful treats. Many cancer survivors and family members of cancer survivors came from as far as Bowdoin.
One visitor came by and had a very interesting story to tell Brianne:
From Brianne’s Blog. My last visitor of the day was one that I don’t remember ever seeing before today. She came in as we were packing up and asked if I was Brianne. I said yes and she said she came to see me. She explained that she grew up near my mother and that they graduated high school together, they were great friends. Then she moved away as young graduates do. She came back years later and ran into my mother. They both had been battling cancer and bonded all over again. She told me that she misses my mother and thinks of her often. We talked about Mummy, Grammy and Grampy. I love listening to people tell stories of their friendship with Mummy. They think she was just as great as I do.
In all the event made $862, a big congratulations to Brianne and her friends from us at The Valley Voice, keep on fighting the good fight!
