HIGHLIGHTS

BARNEY'S

Every Color Matters Cancer Awareness Organization began under the leadership of Barney's godfather, Pastor Eddie F. Thomas. At that time, it was not established as a registered 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization. Rather, it was an annual breast cancer awareness walk named after his godfather.

 

Following his untimely death in 2011, Barney was compelled to not only continue the great work happening in his community, but also endeavored to improve upon the existing program. After losing his godfather to Colon Cancer in 2011, biological father to Kidney Cancer in 2014, god-brother to Brain Cancer in 2017 and his stepfather to Lung Cancer in 2017, Barney simply had to find a way to bring greater awareness to all forms of cancer and find a way to assist families battling this disease just as he had many times over. - excerpt from Voyage ATL
