FHF’s first scholarship student is off and massaging following her March 29 graduation.

On March 29, Jennifer Hartley of Martinez, Georgia became Flicker Of Hope Foundation’s first scholarship graduate. An exciting graduation ceremony was held at French Market Grille West in Augusta for the Augusta School of Massage’s Spring 2004 class. The evening revealed the closeness of the graduates who had worked closely during the last six months as they studied anatomy and perfected their techniques for relieving stress and soothing aching muscles.

At the beginning of the formal event, the Director Leigh Ann Keels recognized Jennifer as the most inspiring student, citing the many challenges Jennifer overcame to receive her degree. A rousing standing ovation indicated that the entire school concurred!

This month, Jennifer passed the National Certification test and soon will begin to practice professionally. We are extremely proud of this wonderful woman and wish her a long and happy career in a rewarding profession.
