The Healing Garden raised sufficient funds to break ground for their much needed expansion and construction will commence this fall. Fanny Barry participated in the fashion show with 11 other women. All the women have links to breast cancer, either personal or through family and friends. The show, which higlighted spring fashions from four prestigious Boston fashion retailers: Tess of Newton Center, Sumi Seo and The Studio, also of Newton Center and Sarah Campbell from Boston's South End. The fashions were coordinated with shoes from Nordstroms. The show embodied That Barry Girl Foundations' goal, showing how lives affected by breast cancer can "thrive, not just survive" and beat the disease by remaining vibrant and beautiful.

The Garden offers a range of complementary therapies, psychosocial support, educational programs and access to nature for those experiencing breast cancer. Fanny believes that the Garden's mission is compatible with That Barry Girl's philosophy and that it offers an important resource for women with breast cancer regardless of economic circumstances.
