On March 15, 2024  Kim O’Brien was diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia. Kim is a 36 year old wife, mom, and teacher at Lloyd Road Elementary in Matawan. Kim grew up in Bradley Beach and currently lives in Hazlet with her family. Her husband Connor also 36 year’s old has been right by her side through it all. Connor grew up in Brick and works for the Port Authority as a Train Engineer. They have two young children Madison 7 and Kellen 5. The family is grateful to everyone who has shown support during this difficult time. The family is truly honored to be apart of Allie’s Army 5k. Brick PBA Local #230 is proud to host this event and assist the O'Brien family while keeping the memory of our beloved Allie Puccio.

Allie would have wanted us to help other families in need who share the same spirit and love that she had for her family. Allie’s family is extremely honored to continue this event in Allie’s honor as she touched so many lives and was loved by so many.
