Community

Please join the Friends of the Blue Hills on Saturday, May 10th to celebrate the life of Kristin Kubera with a hike in her memory. Kristin passed away suddenly on May 9,2023 from heart disease.

To honor her memory, friends, family, and community members are invited to participate in a self-guided hike up Great Blue Hill. We hope this meaningful experience will unite her loved ones, offering both support for a worthy cause and a chance to celebrate Kristin’s life by engaging in an activity she truly enjoyed.

Kristin was adventurous and lived life to the fullest. She was well on her way to hiking every 4,000 ft mountain in New Hampshire. She completed tasks from her bucket list early and often, such as catching a wave on her very first try while surfing in Hawaii, and skydiving without telling her mom until after she landed. But Kristin’s true passion was her value and love for her family.

Kristin grew up in Milton in a loving home with warm-hearted neighbors. She graduated from Fontbonne Academy (class of ’18) and went on to graduate from UMass Amherst (class of ’22), both with honors. She was a genuine and caring friend who was beloved by many classmates from high school and college.

In Kristin’s honor, we are raising funds for the Friends of the Blue Hills and an organization close to her heart, Comfort Zone Camp (CZC). CZC is a non-profit bereavement camp for children experiencing the loss of a primary caregiver or sibling. Kristin attended CZC as a child and later volunteered to support other grieving youth. Suggested donation day of the hike is $10.

Last year’s funds donated to Comfort Zone Camp went to very good use! They planned a special camp in name “Kristin Kubera Memorial Camp” in September and it was a huge success. The program helped 44 children, ages 7-17, grieve, heal and grow. Feedback received from the campers was heartwarming. Kristin‘s mom and brother volunteered at the camp and found it to be healing for them as well. Kristin would have loved everything about this! Take a look at the picture below!

Rain date May 11th. Hiking time is 20 to 60 minutes depending on hiking speed. Length is about two miles with an elevation gain of around 400ft.

Join us to celebrate the life of this young hiker and nature lover. Sign up on the page below, and/or scan the QR code to donate to Friends of the Blue Hills or CZC in Kristin’s memory.
