Erin Farragher, a Burton resident and Berkshire High school student passed away this last July from complications from Moyamoya.

In memory of Erin, a beloved Buddy Cruiser, Erin’s mother, Maria Dellapina, and stepfather John Fisher have formed a scholarship fund with Buddy Cruise to provide for families to experience their very first Buddy Cruise. Erin’s sweet, caring and infectious smile will be remembered by enabling a new family to experience the same joy that Erin had onboard a Buddy Cruise.

The Buddy Cruise is a 501 C3 not for profit organization, built to provide educational opportunities and resources for families, while promoting awareness, acceptance & inclusion for individuals with Down Syndrome and all special needs.
