JAJF continues to be praised for being differentiated (one of a kind nationally) and for making a responsible, tangible, direct and meaningful impact. Now, the following statistics are confirming the void we are filling. An overlooked population is being addressed.
From The American Cancer Society's Chief Mission Officer:
Jon,
I wish you and your family well. We were able to get some data for you.
We can expect about 9652 new cases of late stage cancer annually in the 28-50 population, 4177 in males and 5475 females. With that in mind, there is a total potential of 4500- 6000 annually for the Jack and Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation to serve (when coupled with the existing cases). An incredible, albeit sobering, opportunity. The Foundation will make an impact nationally.

Thank you for appreciating these children and these families (together) deserve to call timeout from the hardship and miserable anticipation of losing their Mom or Dad.
