Most of the Dads and Moms The Foundation "treats" die within months after they go on their WOW! Experience. This is meaningful, tangible and indespensable. Our supporters are giving these families a cherished timeout together...while they can. What a gift. Indespnesable is an appriopriate word. Unfortunately, the easiest aspect of The Foundation is being able to find Moms and Dads in their 20's, 30's and 40's dying from cancer leaving behind their grieving children. Despite the advances in cancer research, thousands of young parents will die from cancer each year.<br /><br />Thank you you golf Ironmen for appreciating these children and these families (together)deserve to call timeout from the hardship and miserable anticipation of losing their Dad or Mom.<br /><br />Life can be cruel and profoundly tough. For a 7 year old to lose her Mom to cancer or a 14 year old to lose his Dad, these kids are losing their heroes; their security blankets at a very vulnerable time. My wife Jill died three weeks after we launched The Foundation Thanksgiving of 2006...a special time typically reserved for families being together. Her battle finally came to a rest, but her vision to make something out of the harsh realities of cancer was just beginning. Her final words that night have become our mantra....our purpose:<br /><br />"THE CHILDREN NEED A BREAK; THEY JUST NEED A BREAK...AND SO DO THE PARENTS. THIS FOUNDATION NEEDS TO CONTINUE--IT MUST."<br /><br />I am grateful for your compassion and confidence in The Foundation. Please continue to share the impact so we can touch more families across the country. We have impacted thousands already, sadly there are many more to "treat".<br /><br />It costs an average of $1077 per family to give them their time together on their WOW. From drive way to drive way we treat the families; not the cancer. We don't want the family to lift a finger, spend a dime or worry about any details. <br /><br />www.jajf.org<br /><br />Jon Albert; Founder<br />Jack and Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation<br />A national 501(c)3 national non-profit<br />3282 Northside Pkwy.
