In Honor of Rina Johnson
Keeping our Friend’s Spirit Alive
To honor our good friend and volunteer Rina Johnson, who passed away due to complications from cancer on January 14, 2011, the board of directors of Amy’s Treat has unanimously voted to name our successful patient outing program Respites with Rina.
These outings were Rina’s brainchild, since she knew firsthand the value of patients coming together in community to support one another and to spend time doing something fun that had nothing to do with treatment or status as “cancer patient”. Her advocacy and excitement for group outings will live on to inspire and renew the spirits of those who share in the difficult journey that is a cancer diagnosis.
