Mia O'Neill
Brian Jr., who inspired this foundation, was my cousin, but I always knew him as BJ. Our family is incredibly close, and we took the loss of BJ incredibly hard. Being a part of the Brian O’Neill Jr. Foundation is an honor and passion of mine. If we can save just one person/family from having to experience the loss we did, then I will feel like my part in the organization has made a difference. I have been working with the organization since the winter of 2021. I am currently a Member At Large and an Adult Advisor for Sources of Strength. I am so grateful for the opportunities I have had through this program to help bring Sources of Strength to both passionate and courageous high school and middle school students. I have learned just as much if not more from these amazing students as they have (hopefully) learned from me. I have since incorporated the eight strengths we work with the students on, into my own life! In my free time I love spending time at the beach with my family and dogs, reading a good book, and scuba diving.
