At this year's Closer to Free, we've created a collaborative art piece that will decorate the halls of our New Haven #ARTlab building. This installation will act as an art therapy piece for our housed patients and be a reminder of how we can do more when we work together.
We interviewed some of our participants to find out their key takeaways from Closer to Free, including Compass President Eric!
Eric Fleming, President of Compass
Eric explains the importance of Closer to Free, riding 40 miles next to his brother, and being cheered on by hundreds of nurses, doctors, and patients throughout their trek.
Julie Jessop, Director of Operations
Julie explains being motivated by other riders and riding with Neil, a doctor at Smilow Cancer Center.
Jill Lamb, Marketing Manager
Jill explains Closer to Free's symbolic opening remarks and experiencing New Haven's sense of community.
