Lynn’s Lights | Pickle Planet Podcast S8E11
Sometimes loss creates beautiful new traditions – ones that carry on legacy and create change. Lynn’s Lights is a shinning example of this. Lynn Whalen spent her career at The Moncton Hospital, and when she died of ovarian cancer in 2021, her family and friends came together to create an endowment fund in her name, supporting the Obstetrics and Newborn Care Unit of The Moncton Hospital. To add to it each year, lights on the iconic Christmas Tree float from the Royale Greater Moncton Santa Claus Parade are sold to the public. Lynn’s husband, Bill, joins Jenna & Tosh in studio, along with Friends’ foundation director of community & strategic initiatives, Katherine Robertson, to talk about the fund, what it means to the community, and what it means to Lynn’s friends and family.
