Partner With Us.
Cancer can be a lonely journey, but with your help, we can fight this disease together. Whether you are able to contribute financially, volunteer your time, or spend time in prayer for our organization and our patients, your support is crucial to the success of Journey Bags.
Our 2026 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.
Current Sponsorship Opportunities.
One of Journey Bags’ goals is to add light to the darkness that comes with any cancer diagnosis. Be the Light is an awareness walk that
will take place at the Murray Calloway County Regional Cancer Center. This year’s walking route will be a little different as we will loop around so that we both begin and end at the Cancer Center. We have plans to expand this event, adding food trucks, games for kids, and more! At this event, you’ll hear from Nate and Alecia Boss, parents of Lucy Boss, this year’s featured cancer warrior. The tentative date for this event is April 17.
As always, luminaries in honor and in memory of cancer warriors will light a path. Luminaries will be sold for $5 each.
In its two years of existence, this event has already grown to include hundreds of walkers from our community. As it is a night walk, we join together in this walk to shine a light on cancer.
