Sparked by Kelsey’s story and the grief so many felt over losing her, this Foundation was started to continue supporting Kelsey’s passions: scholarship, cancer research, children with developmental delays, and boating safety.

🎀💗 As Breast Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, let’s keep the conversation going. 💗🎀

Throughout October, we’ve talked about the importance of staying informed, supporting those affected by breast cancer, getting involved in the fight, and finding meaningful ways to make a difference.

But awareness doesn’t have to end when October does. 💕

Take a moment to check in on someone you love, stay informed about breast cancer, support research, volunteer, donate, or find a way to get involved in your own community. Every action—big or small—can make an impact.

We hope this month has encouraged you to learn something new, start a conversation, and remember the people in your life who have been affected by breast cancer. 🎀

And if you’re looking for a way to continue making a difference, a percentage of donations to the Kelsey Starling Memorial Foundation will go toward breast cancer research and cancer patients. 💗

🎀 Let’s keep the awareness going and let’s keep supporting one another until we find a cure.

🎀💗 Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Knowledge Is Power 💗🎀
Breast Cancer Awareness Month isn’t just about wearing pink—it’s about learning, sharing, and taking action.

Did you know?
🎀 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.
🎀 Breast cancer can affect both women and men.
🎀 When breast cancer is found at an early, localized stage, the 5-year relative survival rate is over 99%.
🎀 Knowing what is normal for your body, recognizing changes, and staying up to date with recommended screenings can all play an important role in early detection.

This month, take a few minutes to learn more about breast cancer—and share what you learn with someone you love. 💗 Sometimes, awareness starts with simply having the right information.

💗🎀 Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀💗

This October, we’re wearing pink and standing together in honor of everyone whose lives have been affected by breast cancer. From those currently fighting, to survivors, to the loved ones we’ve lost—we remember, we support, and we continue to hope. 💗

At the Kelsey Starling Memorial Foundation, we believe in supporting causes that make a difference, spreading awareness, and reminding our community that no one has to face the fight alone. 💕

Let’s keep the conversation going, encourage one another to prioritize our health, and continue to support breast cancer research and those affected by this disease. 🎀

💗 Together, we can make a difference. 💗

🦋💙 WE DID IT! $5,000! 💙🦋

Our Monarch Migration has officially reached its $5,000 goal! 🎉
We are beyond grateful to every single person, family, and local business who donated, welcomed a butterfly, nominated a destination, shared a post, or simply cheered our butterflies along. Your generosity and support have meant more to us than we can say. 💙
Because of YOU, our butterflies made it all the way to their goal—and our community came together in such a beautiful way to support the mission of the Kelsey Starling Memorial Foundation.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping Kelsey's legacy continue to soar. 🦋✨

Now, a special message from our President, Megan Starling:

💙 “I am blown away by the support the Troy community has shown to the Kelsey Foundation these last 45 days.
For those who don’t know the significance of this last month and a half, I’d love to share some details. July 4th, 2026 marked 7 years since we lost Kelsey in a boating accident on Smith Lake. It also marked the start of something new: our monarch migration. It began when my Dad put out two butterfly lawn ornaments in his yard at Lake Martin. From there, the butterflies travelled back with him to Troy, where they would visit house after house, moved by the generosity of so many of our close friends and family. Today, August 18th, marks the end of their journey. What’s the significance of their finish line, though? Today is the 12 year anniversary of when my mom, Jo, passed away. It’s a heavy day for many, but this year in particular hurts all the more. I was 12 when my mom passed away, meaning I have now lived half of my life without her. That reality hurts in all sorts of new ways, but I’ve found joy in knowing these butterflies serve as a reminder of them both.

If you played host to our butterflies at any point over these last 45 days, thank you. If you nominated, liked, reposted, or donated from afar, thank you.

This has healed the hearts of so many people in so many ways, and it certainly has done the same for me. Though the migration has ended, if ever you need a reminder of the hope, perseverance, and love we’ve found through Kelsey and mom’s story, the butterflies will remain at mom and Kelsey’s graveside. All are welcome to pay them a visit.”
