Dear Friends,

A 2024 AIM graduate, Kristine Wall, has recently passed due to cancer. Kristine's joyful and bubbly personality were inspiring to all who knew her. Knowing Kristine meant loving Kristine. She approached every moment of her life as a celebration - she was clearly happy to be here every day. Having lived through several rounds of cancer earlier in her life, Kristine lived the example of wonder in each precious moment.

Aligning her personal and professional goals through massage therapy was deeply meaningful to her, both for her own journey and as an example for her daughter. Kristine had just finished school, had gotten a job as an LMT, and was on the verge of opening a private practice when her cancer returned. In just a handful of weeks, Kristine's health declined. She passed on Oct. 27, 2024. As a single mother, Kristine leaves behind her 14-year-old daughter, Stella.

This loss for Stella is huge. She'll move out of state to go live with her godmother, Kristine's closest friend. Her extended family are doing all they can to support Stella while processing this grief together. All funds raised in this fundraiser will go toward Stella and her future in a trust. The family is grateful that AIM has volunteered to start a GoFundMe for Stella, and incredibly grateful for any help we may all contribute toward Stella's success in life. If this is something you are able to participate with, please know the great depths of gratitude and thanks that receive it.
