I love meeting new people and making connections. Sometimes, depending on the conversation and the person, Brielle naturally becomes part of those moments.
I met Caitlin Piccone just a few months ago during a weekend away, and we hit it off right from the start. When we got together again back in Kingston, she was more than happy to take one of Brielle’s rocks with her to Africa during her travels.
While she was there, Caitlin, her research partner, and her three kids in Ghana learned a little about Brielle and helped find the perfect spot for her rock. Ultimately she decided to leave it on the university campus in the hope that one day it might be discovered by someone doing research in a field connected to pediatric cancer. Maybe they’ll read Brielle’s story, and be reminded why that research matters.
You never know where one small act of kindness might lead or whose path it might cross. Thank you, Caitlin, for taking Brielle with you on your journey and for helping her story reach another corner of the world. ❤️👼
