Fight like a BOSS!

Our 2025 Sponsorship Campaign is being called “FIGHT LIKE A BOSS!” in honor of local childhood cancer warrior, Lucy Boss. Journey Bags Board Member Nate Boss, Lucy’s dad, said, “When Lucy was diagnosed with leukemia at just five years old, our world turned upside down. In the middle of so much fear and uncertainty, her Journey Bag, which was delivered while we were in the hospital shortly after we got the news, brought comfort and light. The coloring books and blanket became part of our hospital routine, but it was the bald Barbie that meant the most. It showed Lucy that she wasn’t alone and that beauty, strength, and bravery come in all forms. That simple gesture made her feel seen and included during the hardest time in her young life.” A cancer journey is definitely a time of instability and isolation. A Journey Bag helps its recipient to know that they are not alone–that their community loves them, is there for them, and cares about what they are going through.
