T-shirts and wristbands

Thanks to everyone for the t-shirt orders. I ran out of a few sizes and placed a new order, which will arrive on Saturday. I'll ship them out right after that. The red relentless bracelets are showing up everywhere I look. They are available at the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society web site and support research for a cure.

Hoyas join Jerry

I went to a U Conn vs Georgetown tennis match recently. It was a tough match, and I was concentrating on the play when I noticed one of the Gtown girls, Vicky, was wearing a red "relentless" bracelet, the same one pictured on our JoinJerry2010 site and the one that Jerry has been wearing. I looked around and noticed that Vicky's doubles partner that day, Elizabeth, wore a bracelet too. Then I scanned all the Gtown girls, those on the court and those watching. Everyone had a bracelet. I was moved and mentioned this to Michelle, who sported her own bracelet and then asked me look at the Gtown coach. He had one too. So did some of the fans in the crowd who were watching and many of the swimmers who I saw later in the day at a banquet. Many of these athletes don't know Jerry personally but are moved by his story. Hoya Saxa.

Facebook, wow

After Kristen set up the Join Jerry page on Facebook, she invited all her Facebook friends, one of whom is her godfather, Uncle Jerry. She apologized for not letting him know sooner of her plans. (She knew he'd understand; they are both relentless.) He responded by posting the story of his past two years battling cancer. To date, there are more than 90 Join Jerry fans on Facebook, many of whom are friends of Kristen and her sister Michelle. Recently, I have recognized the names of Jerry's friends and neighbors too. It's been an amazing week....
