Help Jason Out

Why you should help......

Two years ago at age 34, Jason received devastating news when he was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma (skin cancer.) The prognosis for this type of cancer in that stage is not good. Historically there is a 9-13% chance for recovery. After hearing this news, Jason refused to give up hope. For the last two years, he and his wife Tonya have bravely been fighting this battle. They have continuously sought out life saving treatments, and Jason continues to beat the odds. They have endured countless surgeries and treatments in Georgia, Tennesee, Texas, and Massachusetts. Jason remains positive, determined, and grateful in the midst of this storm in his life. He has also had the opportunity to share his story and inspire others who are suffering with the same disease, and point them in the direction of the best doctors. He even plans to write a book about his experience one day. His constant treatments and travel have created a financial need for him and his family. After two years of privately fighting for his life, it is time for friends of Jason to rally around him and Tonya, so he can continue to focus on getting the best treatment and getting well. I know that there is no one person who can meet all of their needs, but if everyone will do something,  it will go a long way. I am suggesting that each person donate $20. Some of you can do more. Please just give your best gift. Refuse to do nothing. All funds will go directly to Jason for his medical,and travel costs and for any other needs he and his family may have.
