the power of pablove, a note from our CEO

March 23, 2020
  the power of pablove  
a note from our CEO, Kerstin Lynam 

Dear friend,

We believe in the strength and power of community. Pablove was founded on the love of friends and family coming together in a time of crisis. And we’re proud and grateful to serve as a beacon of hope and support in dark times. It’s literally who we are and what makes us tick. It’s what’s called each of our team and board members to carry out this mission and dig into this life-changing work. And it’s the vibrant spirit of pablove that likely made you join us, too!

While this forced disruption of our “normal lives” feels so new to many of us, this is the all-too familiar reality for our Shutterbugs and their families. The unpredictable routine dictated by cancer and its treatment comes full of risks and without any sense of control. I’m humbled by this realization. As we face this unprecedented moment in our lifetimes, I feel an even deeper connection to the communities we serve.

The Pablove Foundation remains committed to improving the lives of kids with cancer and funding the critical research to fuel their cures. Our work will not stop. These changing times have provided us the momentum to innovate how we deliver healing arts to kids who need it most. While our Spring 2020 Shutterbugs classes are postponed, we’re developing activities to engage and creatively nurture our students in the virtual realm.

As we navigate this pandemic, we’re especially thankful for our hospital and research partners, many of whom are keeping us updated from the frontlines of tackling Covid-19.

I am also grateful to every single one of you reading this. It is YOU who will continue to sustain our mission. Thank you for the goodness and care you have shown us. We hope we make your life brighter too!

I love exploring the photos in our Pablove Prints Shop — so many of the images express such a joie de vivre. We can learn so much from our Shutterbugs’ positive perspectives.

Let’s stay connected via email and social media as we keep fighting childhood cancer with love. Together, we will infuse hope + light at the time when our world needs it most. 💓

stay well + stay with pablove,



Kerstin Lynam, CEO
