On a beautiful Carolina fall day, Helena Nyman, Sean Mitton, and Kaylene Lewek of the Hope Bus visited Duke University John, Lauren and Lynnand the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill to highlight the work of BounceBack Kids and the Duke-Carolina Student Basketball Marathon. BounceBack Kids and Basketball Marathon were delighted to meet Helena and Sean and welcome back Kaylene, who played in the inaugural Basketball Marathon in 2006, served as a Co-Director of the Marathon in 2007, and volunteered with BounceBack Kids when she was an undergraduate at Duke. Everyone with BounceBack Kids and Basketball Marathon who met with Helena, Sean, and Kaylene was moved by their vision to inspire others to serve the community and make a difference.

The Hope Bus visit to this basketball mecca had a “Hoops” theme. At Duke, the Marathon students set up a basketball goal on the Main Quad and students shot hoops and learned about the Marathon and BounceBack Kids. At UNC, the students set up a table at the Pit for students to learn about the Marathon and BounceBack Kids.

Both organizations are honored to have been part of the Hope Bus Tour, and we hope the Tour encourages all to contribute to their communities.
