For months, Marblehead has rallied around one special girl with cancer. When word spread that her favorite color was blue and a simple request made to put up a blue ribbon to brighten her day, the community response was overwhelming. Trees, houses, schools, fire trucks, garbage trucks all began sporting a variety of blue ribbons.
Today, the Make a Wish foundation and a number of locals put on a show of support. Megan was to be driven around Marblehead inside of a white limo on her way to her own premiere at the Warwick Theater in town to celebrate with a few close friends. With less than 24 hours notice of Megan’s planned route, a call was sent out asking for people to wear blue and line the causeway at 12:30pm.
I showed up wearing my Cal t-shirt and was awed by the turnout. There were hundreds of people with balloons and signs ready to cheer on Megan’s procession. Here are two images of the white limo being welcomed all along the causeway.
As I took these photos, I thought to myself: This is Marblehead – a small town with a huge heart!
