PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER

Nolan is not only my son, but a friend with whom I shared a close bond. We were so much alike, had so much in common and really understood each other. While my heart is, and will always be broken, I am commiting my life to fulfill all that Nolan stood for and to help make this world a better place. I love you Nolan!

Nolan is my son and my soulmate. He came into this world with a purpose and, although his life was too short, I believe he taught us more than we could ever hope to teach him. A wise, old soul, a joy, a challenge, and an inspiration. His work to make the world a better place goes on through those of us he left behind.

Nolan was part of our family. I was his Cub Scout leader; my husband was his soccer coach. My son Devon and he were great friends. Nolan spent a lot of time at our house and I am so thankful for that, to see what an amazing young man he was. Our family will forever be shaped because we were blessed to know Nolan.

Nolan was more than just a brother. His inspiration and influence to make the world a better place resonated with me on the deepest level. We both shared the same pasion for helping others and sometimes putting their needs before our own. Today, his quote "one child alone can make a difference, but all of us together can change the world" is more relevant than ever, and I believe that he was right. Together, we can make this world a better place. His memory is what drives me forward every day.

Nolan was my best friend, my inspiration to continue learning in music. We were in a band together, and spent many, many summer days together. We shared a similar humor in ways some didn't get. We just clicked so well. Nolan keeps me motivated and inspired to do amazing things for him.

Nolan is my nephew and always helped with my Whitewater Rafting business. He loved being part of our guide family and it was great watching him mature into a young man. He was an inspiration to everyone he came in contact with. Today we should all strive to be the HERO that Nolan was!

My name is Becky Moore and my husband, Woody suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm in January 2024 at the age of forty-eight. Woody had the pleasure of knowing Nolan through rec sports in Pittsfield. The Berthelette family has been an amazing support system to our family, helping us navigate through this life changing event. Woody is still recovering and it will be a long journey ahead of us. As he heals, our desire is to help others and to bring awareness about brain aneurysms.
