Longtime Westport resident Amy Schafrann writes:
I was walking with a friend on Clapboard Hill Road. Two boys — George and Ford Nanos — on the corner of Taylor Lane were offering hot cider.
We had no cash with us. They very kindly offered it for free.
I asked the boys which charity they were collecting for. The older one, George, said, “Boston Children’s Hospital. That’s where I was treated for a brain tumor.”
He said he’s done this with his brother, and friends Jake and Tyler, for a few weeks. They’ve raised several hundred dollars.

This truly touched my heart.
Of course, I went back to donate money. What amazing boys!

Definitely a story to remember on this Thanksgiving weekend. A little side note, my grandfather bought the 7.2 acre Post Road property in 1917 from Mr. Taylor. I have the original bill of sale with Mr. Taylor’s signature.
Amy: a perfect story to share at this time of year.
Wonderful story.
Such a wonderful effort. Congratulations to the boys.
Always go to Boston hospital for adult and pediatric care. They best in the country.
Happy Thanksgiving boys.
