Fundraiser Set for East Lyme Man Diagnosed with Leukemia

Post from Mystic River Press:

Saint Bernard benefit for alumnus — There will be a charity flag football tournament and family fun day that Saint Bernard School is hosting this Sunday, Nov. 9, at 10 a.m.

The tournament is a benefit for Saint Bernard alumnus Kyle Brahm ‘07, of East Lyme, who was recently diagnosed with leukemia. His family has organized the event to help raise money for his costly treatments. Location: Saint Bernard School, 1593 Norwich-New London Turnpike, Uncasville.

A GoFundMe fundraiser for Brahm has raised $9,410 so far. Kyle’s sister Meghan organized it and titled the page: “My heart, my brother” and included the picture you see here, of siblings being silly together. Click here for more information or to donate.
