Scattering CJ is a Facebook page started by Hallie Twomey[1][2] on November 11, 2013, to commemorate her eldest son C.J. Twomey, who died by suicide in 2010.[3][4][5][6] Through the Facebook page, Hallie asked if anyone would be willing to scatter a small amount of C.J.'s cremains in a location of their choosing.[7][8][9][10] Since the founding of the page, C.J.'s ashes have been scattered in over one thousand locations worldwide,[11][12][13] including Machu Picchu,[14] the Great Barrier Reef, the Great Wall of China and Mount Kilimanjaro.[15]
