Susan G. Komen Southern Nevada Race for the Cure – May 1st, 2010 – Las Vegas, Nevada


Jessica met an amazing group of women through an on-line support group for women trying to become pregnant. Their friendships bloomed and the support they gave each other while trying to have children continued as they supported Jessica in her battle. The group, spread out across the U.S, decided to come together in Las Vegas and walk as Team Jessica. Jessica had plans to join them, but I will be walking in her stead. With less than a week to go, Team Jessica is leading the fundraising with over $10,000 raised. Thanks to the members of Team Jessica and those that donated.

The Fight Is Not Over!

After much thought, I’ve decided to continue Jessica’s blog. Though Jessica’s personal battle against cancer has ended, the war is not over. We can honor Jessica by remembering the courage, humor, and grace she fought with as we support the various organizations that search for a cure and support families in the midst of the battle. Whether you are participating in a Komen run/walk/multi-day event, Livestrong Challenge, American Cancer Society Relay for Life, Orchard of Hope fundraiser, etc.; you are all Jessica’s Warriors.

I will be posting information about the various events that Jessica’s friends and family will be participating in. Please let me know if you are participating in an event and I’ll be sure to add that as well. You can check out the Team Jessica page on Facebook,

Let’s build an army to continue Jessica’ goal to “Kick Cancer’s Ass!”
Take care,

Matt
