Show your support for Nick and his boys

Hello friends,

Our dear friend Nick, who we grew up with and have known all our lives, recently lost the love of his life, Beth Anne, after a brave battle with cancer. Together they have two young boys, Austin and Myles. It goes without saying that Nick and the boys are entering a phase that none of them ever anticipated, and we need to step up and help.

Nick has been my friend for as long as I can remember—his family took me skiing for the first time and together with our friends, we spent every day of every summer sailing, playing tennis, swimming, and getting into mischief. Everyone who grew up with Nick has their own stories of those youthful and happy days.

Jump forward a few years—amazingly, those same friends and families (and many new additions) are still connected through our childhood roots. Even though we are older, and regardless of our current circumstances and situations, we remain connected and share a very special bond.

Nick’s path led him to a beautiful union with his wife, Beth Anne. Their children Austin and Myles completed their happy family foursome. The unimaginable death of Beth Anne has left Nick and the boys not only heartbroken but finding their way forward as a family of three.

While there are no simple words or remedies that can solve his family’s grief, let’s show Nick how much we care for him and his family by passing on a donation, big or small, that can help them get their bearings as they navigate this next chapter in their lives.

This is one of two GoFundMe campaigns circulating among Nick and Beth Anne’s friends, family, and extended community. If you’ve already donated, thank you so much. Even if you’ve already given, please consider sharing this link so we can reach even more people and make a greater impact for Nick and the boys.

With love,

Marianne O’Hearn
