BRIGHT Run History Meet our Survivor Spokespeople

As we approach the BRIGHT Run’s 20th anniversary on Sept. 11, 2027, we want to highlight the survivor spokespeople who have shared their stories over the past 19 years.

Between now and August, we’ll feature them in the monthly eNewsletter.

Let’s start with the inaugural year, 2008, when Jo Ann Fleming spoke to the first gathering of the BRIGHT Run community. Jo Ann went on to become a long-time familiar face at the BRIGHT Run through her dedicated volunteering.

In 2009, Nancy McMillan took to the stage to speak to the crowd at the second BRIGHT Run. Nancy began volunteering and is now well-known as the BRIGHT Run’s event chair.

Many thanks to Jo Ann and Nancy for sharing their stories.
