My name is Jerry Griffin. I'm an Actor and the real thing coming up makes your furry eyebrows fall out and the rest of your facial hair flop off.

It even makes your wallet bald.

I fell backward and fractured four (4) vertebrae in my lower spine last October 2020. I was cast in the TV show "Ozark" and had to drop out because I lost the ability to walk. The doctors eventually did an MRI and discovered I had cancer in my bones. This discovery explained why eleven more vertebrae up my spine exhibited hairline fractures.

If I had not fallen the cancer would have dangerously progressed.

After seventeen months of Chemo “they” have finally confronted the radical “White Blood Cells Matter” contingent in my bones before a Stem Cell Transplant up at Vanderbilt University in Nashville.

And, yes, the cost of combatting what the excellent oncologist would only say of my bones, “They are so diseased," is considerable.

Holy Mackerel!

All of a sudden, YOU have ‘cancer’!

“Your bones are “soft.”

No one tells you right there that it has just become costly to go on living even with your good insurance. It is a massive financial undertaking with many departments to check you out and charge you for that check. You get prodded, stuck, x-rayed, hematologized, scanned, rescanned and given more pharmacological units than you ever thought you would take.

And I'm not through with this Acting thing. There are more roles up ahead. Life will start again at 65!

If you might, would you care to help me out a little with my Go Fund Me?

I and my bones would be most appreciative. Thank you!
