Life Back, For Jason

Donation protected
Hi my name is Cori Golanowski, and I am here asking for people's help and support in Jason's journey, where Jason will be exploring a possible treatment for the condition he's endured for well over a decade, known as Heridatary Spastic Paraplegia. Jason being a childhood friend, who is still my close friend today, and most recently has been given hope that there may be a chance we can improve his condition.
Year by year Jason has been losing his mobility, and his ability to take part in many life events, even the smaller daily things like taking apart in his daughter's activities. I've watched this man rise every day in the face of this all, and still give life his best shot everyday, and doing what he can do to be a rock in his family. It's been beyond inspiring to watch the courage this man displays, rising up and being a warrior for day to day living. For myself being a health and wellness practitioner, I have worked with Jason through this journey on several occasions, and have always kept my eyes open for any new research that may give benefits in his journey. It appears we
may have found something for him. Peptides. Promising results have been shown in recent trials, results that offer improvements in mobility, strength, metabolic health, cognitive function, and more.
The major roadblock here is financing his journey. Jason lost his career when he learned of his condition, this was over ten years ago, as you can imagine having a family and mortgage with this happening, makes for a tight budget. How ever Peptide therapy and having experts tracking his exploration, is a very achievable financial goal, especially with your help of making a donation here today.

The funds are being used for his medical consultation, his peptides and the duration of their use for his protocol, expert guidance and tracking with labs, physio/rehabilitation, and other hollistic interventions while on the road to improvements. This is going to be at least a year of therapy, and we will see where we have gotten to come time.

We will be sharing all avenues that the funding will be used for as we go, and this is an estimate of the financial costs for Jason's Journey. Let's come together and give this man an opportunity to explore this realm of possibilities. Any donation size is encouraged, it all adds up.

I would now like to share a personal letter written by Jason for you to read:

" I never thought I would be here, asking for help like this. But I don’t want to keep losing pieces of my life without fighting back.

It’s hard to explain when everything started to change… but I remember one moment clearly.

I was standing in the bathroom, looking at myself in the mirror. Something felt off. My feet weren’t sliding across the floor like they used to. They felt heavier… almost stuck. I stood there, confused, wondering what was happening to me.
That was just the beginning.

Little by little, things started getting harder. Movements that used to be automatic now take full focus. I can’t multitask anymore—I have to concentrate on every single step, every movement, just to get through the day.
And it’s getting worse.

Not long ago, I could still get around by holding onto something with one hand. Now, I have to make sure both hands are holding on to something before I even try to move.

That’s how fast my independence is slipping away.

This disease has taken so much from me already. I’ve missed out on so many moments, experiences, and time with the people I love.

My family lives up north, and something as simple as visiting them has become a challenge I can barely handle. Sitting in a car for more than an hour puts me in a lot of pain. Still, I push myself to go when I can… even knowing I’ll suffer when I get back home.

Because they matter that much to me.
But the hardest part of all of this… is my family is living life they don't deserve.

They’ve only really known this version of me. The one who struggles. The one who has to sit out. The one who has to choose between pain or staying on the couch.

That’s not who I truly am.
I used to be outgoing. Active. Independent. I used to live my life—not watching life pass me by.
And more than anything, I want my daughters to see that man I was.

I want to walk with them. Show up for them. Be there special moments without think of the repercussions.

Recently, I’ve found a treatment path that gives me something I haven’t felt in a long time…
Hope.

From everything I’ve learned, this journey could help me regain strength, improve my mobility, and take back parts of my life that this disease has taken from me over the last 15 plus years.

But I can’t do it alone.
I’m asking for your help to be a part this journey—to fight for my independence, for my future, and the further that my family deserves!

Every donation, every share, every bit of support means more than I can put into words.

This isn’t just about treatment.
It’s about getting my life back.
Thank you for being part of this journey with me."
