Update: This morning, surrounded by family, Jayson lost his battle with Cancer. He spend the last year living and loving and will be missed. We will continue to leave this link open for those that want to donate.

Exactly one year ago, Vanessa and Jayson received devastating news...Jayson was diagnosed with Glioblastoma, an aggressive and rare form of brain cancer that does not have a cure. He underwent surgery right away to remove as much of the brain tumor as possible. Once he recovered from surgery, he began radiation and several rounds of chemotherapy to allow him as much extra time with his family as possible. And he has enjoyed every minute!
Jayson is a proud father to Owen, 5th grade, and Cora, 3rd grade, and has fought hard to attend as many soccer games, practices, and school events as possible. He is also a middle school teacher and coach, and until recently, kept working and coaching because he loves what he does.
They have faced this battle somewhat privately but bravely. As Jayson's condition has progressed, friends and family are asking for donations to help them out in this next part of their journey. Money raised will go toward the following:
  • Medical bills
  • Medical and mobility equipment
  • Supplemental income so Vanessa can spend as much time as possible with Jayson
Thank you, in advance, for your love and generosity.
