Please join the Friends of the Blue Hills on Saturday, May 4th to celebrate the life of Kristin Kubera with a hike in her memory.

Friends, family, and community members are invited to embark on a self-guided hike to the top of Great Blue Hill. It is our hope the experience will bring Kristin’s loved ones together in a positive way to support a great cause, and to celebrate her life by doing something she loved to do.

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.

Rain date May 5th. Hiking time is 20 to 60 minutes depending on hiking speed. Length is about two miles with an elevation gain of around 400ft.
