Support Kelly Haugh and her family

Sometimes life delivers moments so heavy, they take the air out of the room. Right now, one of those moments is unfolding for someone many of us hold close.

Kelly Haugh is facing a devastating brain cancer diagnosis—one that’s shaken the foundation beneath her and her family. The road ahead is uncertain, filled with complex surgery and treatments, time away from home, and an emotional weight no family should have to carry alone. But here’s what is certain: Kelly and her family need our support, strength, and love—right now, more than ever.

Kelly - 37 years old - is an incredible mother to 4-year-old Abel, beloved wife to James, daughter, sister, colleague and loyal friend to many who are lucky enough to be in her orbit. A proud veteran of the U.S. Navy, Kelly served as an in-flight electronics technician and logged over 1,000 hours in flight. Since 2017, Kelly has brought an immense amount of thoughtfulness and dedication to her work at Blueprint Medicines and her impact through her role can be felt globally. A sense of courage and purpose has carried her through every chapter of life. Since 2012, she and James have built a beautiful life together — from traveling across the U.S. with their beloved Swissy-Saint named Hattie, to welcoming their beautiful son Abel in 2020 in Boston (Massachusetts) and most recently planting roots down in Asheville (North Carolina).

If you know Kelly, you know this: she’s a light. The kind of person who shows up, no matter what. Whether it’s a friend in crisis, a colleague who needs a boost, a neighbor rebuilding after Hurricane Helene, or even a stranger whose story tugs at her heart—Kelly never hesitates. She gives, she listens, she shows up. Over and over again.

As she and her family travel to Boston for treatment, they are stepping away from their world in Asheville and into the unknown journey that is ahead. This GoFundMe has been created to support Kelly, James, and Abel as they navigate this journey filled with medical treatment, care needs, financial strain, time away from work, emotional hurdles, and other unexpected costs so they can focus on what matters most: time together - it’s also a journey they don’t have to walk alone.

If you’re able, we’re asking you to consider a donation to support Kelly and her family during this time. Every bit helps lift the burden—so they can focus on fighting this cancer together.

Let’s rally around Kelly like she has rallied for so many of us. Let’s be her village, her cheer squad, her steady ground. Let’s make sure she feels the strength of this incredible community holding her close.

When someone like Kelly needs us, we don’t just show up—we show up big.
