Christmas Message from Jerry

To the Join Jerry Family: It’s late. Santa is approaching. To help, we’ve filled the living room with gifts. Sam, Lindsey and Michael, ages 16, 14 and 12, say they know what the deal is. Michele and I play Santa anyway. I’m sure it’s just for the kids.On this Christmas, more than any other, I am thankful for the many blessings in my life, including my Join Jerry family. You helped me take a year of challenges and turn them into triumphs. You helped me laugh at bad news and embrace good news. You showed me even tough guys can use help. Your Relentless photos made me smile on most days and cry on others. After 2 ½ years of this, I occasionally find myself on the dark side; being sick and tired of waking up sick and tired. Then, without fail, someone says something via phone, email, text, FB, card or in person, that puts me back on the right track. Thanks. I know exactly how Lou Gherig felt on July 4, 1939. Merry Christmas to you and your families. Jerry

Relentless Santa

Coincidence?

I was at the bagel shop and the young man who was helping me had on a relentless band, and I held up my arm and showed him mine. I said "for my brother," and he said "for my sister," and I told him to come to this site because she was going to get a bone marrow transplant, and she did not know what to expect. So if you are the sister and you are reading this, welcome aboard and know that you are not alone. The transplant is documented in detail on Facebook, Join Jerry 2010. We would be glad to help any person or family get through this journey in any way we can.
