Giving The National Brain Cancer Society Support
As many people know, I lost my son, Alex, to brain cancer
on May 24, 2013. Since that time, I have written a memoir, Tumor Me, The Story of My Firefighter, that tells in detail the
story of Alex’s struggle in fighting the disease. For many years, as a result
of Alex’s illness, I have donated money to organizations that support cancer
research. It always seemed only right.
While I have given, my family and I also have been
recipients of incredible support and love from friends and acquaintances, both
old and new. In a lifetime I will not be able to thank them enough because
their giving never seems to stop. Recently two of my friends, Alicia and Tim
Streblow, suggested that, in memory and honor of Alex, and to support brain cancer
research, that we form a team, “Alex’s Fighters” and raise money for the
National Brain Cancer Society. Well, guess what? It’s happening! After an
afternoon of planning, the team has been formed and is “up and running” on the
National Brain Tumor Society’s website. We are asking folks that knew Alex to
join the team and walk with us or simply to make a contribution.
If
anyone who reads my blogs on jdechesereboyle.blogspot.com (I Street Imaginings)
or connects to it through Facebook and would like to donate to this important
cause, please do. We do so appreciate the support.
Below is a quick link to my personal page.
