Help Coach Jeff Young Continue To Inspire

Young With Heart (YWH), formerly known as Friends of Jeff (FOJ), is a volunteer community dedicated to sharing the wisdom of ALS survivor Jeff Young and helping him live his best life while he continues his mission to lead and inspire others.

This Fall marks the 40th year since Jeff’s initial diagnosis. Jeff continues to live independently but relies heavily on government benefits that do not cover all the costs associated with living with such a debilitating disease. As Jeff continues his commitment to positivity and inspiring others, YWH is committed to helping support Jeff through his need to amplify his voice for helping others and helping with his ever-increasing financial needs.

YWH will be organizing a series of events this Fall to bring awareness to this amazing achievement.

1) Share a Video Message with Jeff: Videos will be posted on the youngwithheart website. Please submit your “up to 60 second” video to [email redacted]

2) Silent Auction – Learn more about the silent auction for Jeff at www.youngwithheart.com The auction will be held Sept 15 -30.

3) Annual REDOUT Football Game – Join Jeff and the Lakers on Thursday, Sept 21 at Lake Oswego High School. Wear red to show your support!

Like all of us, the last few years have also impacted Jeff significantly. Shortages in health care workers, combined with historically high inflation, have dramatically increased the costs of Jeff's 24/7 caregiving needs.
