I helped to raise money for childhood cancer research with: Joy for Jeffrey

Jeffrey was a very kind hearted soul. He loved life and touched so many lives. Believe it or not he still is. It is so amazing. He enjoyed riding his bike, playing soccer, bowling, sking, going to the beach and riding the waves, going to the Dells and making sure he went down every slide at that pool. And most of all he LOVED his little dog (Niko). In November 2009, Jeffrey was diagnosed with a form of a rare adult cancer, Neuroendocrine Carcinoma. He passed away on October 26, 2010. We don't look at it as though Jeffrey lost his battle with cancer --- we look at it as though he has won. He has enternal life. No more pain, no more suffering. He is in paradise with the Lord. Doing all those things he enjoyed before he got sick. And through God's promises we will be with him again. "In a blink of an eye" --- Jeffrey knew this and believed. Jeffrey has a Guy, Jeffrey knows a Guy, The ultimate Guy --- His name is JESUS To help kids fighting cancer, I'm a volunteer with the St. Baldrick's Foundation. Please support me. With head-shaving and other fundraising events, this volunteer-driven charity funds more in childhood cancer research grants than any organization except the U.S. government Your gift will give hope to infants, children, teens and young adults fighting childhood cancers. So when I ask for your support, I'm really asking you to support these kids. Thank you Click "Make a donation" to give online, or donate by phone or mail
