<div>What can I say about George Charles Thompson. He was a son, a brother, an uncle, a grandfather/great grandfather but most importantly a father to my sister TaShawna (Toocan) and me. He beat cancer once, only for it to come back. Despite him being weak with this disease, he still managed to care for his elderly mother, Anna May Young ,who is 102 years old. He was a soldier who honorably served in the Vietnam War. My father was and will forever be my role model.








</div>

Honoring the memory of George Charles Thompson

<div>Meet Christian Foster. Christian is a 29-year-old from Dayton, Ohio, with a heart as big as his smile. A proud Carroll High School alum, he was a talented athlete with dreams of going far—until life threw an unexpected challenge his way. What began with unusual symptoms and repeated falls during basketball practices turned out to be something far more serious. Christian was initially diagnosed with a rare parathyroid adenoma that ended his athletic dreams. But the deeper issue surfaced in November 2023—Christian was officially diagnosed with Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA) Type 3.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>What is SCA?</strong>

</div>

<div>SCA is a rare, inherited, and progressive neurological disorder. It affects coordination, balance, and movement—and it is terminal. There is currently no cure.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Despite the diagnosis, Christian isn't giving up. He’s pursuing his Bachelor's Degree in Cybersecurity at Clark State University and working a few hours a week at a local gym to maintain his independence and mobility. But as the disease progresses, Christian’s symptoms have worsened—especially triggered by cold weather and sudden weather changes.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>The Fosters Need Our Help!</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Christian and his devoted mother, Debbie Foster, are now facing new challenges that require immediate action. Debbie, a lifelong nurse who has cared for thousands of patients, is now focused entirely on her son’s care and well-being. Along with Christian’s sister, Alexis, they are committed to being his primary caregivers as his condition progresses.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>They urgently need financial help to:</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<ul>

<li>Move Christian to a warmer climate where he can better manage his symptoms

</li>

<li>Find and secure a handicap-accessible home that supports his mobility needs

</li>

<li>Cover ongoing and future medical expenses, including travel to specialized care at Ohio State University

</li>

<li>Support daily caregiving needs and living expenses

</li>

<li>Allow Christian to do a few bucket list adventures
</li>
</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Anyone who knows Christian will tell you—he’s one of the kindest, most uplifting souls you’ll ever meet. His smile is contagious, his attitude inspiring, and his willingness to help others knows no bounds.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>And Debbie? She’s a nurse, a mother, a caregiver, and an amazing friend to many. She has dedicated her life to helping others—and now it’s our turn to show up for her and Christian.
</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Together, we can give Christian a better quality of life—and give Debbie and Alexis the support they need to continue their unwavering care.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>From the bottom of our hearts—thank you. ❤️

Help Christian Foster with Medical Expenses and Care

<div>Many of you know that we lost my dad on April 1 after a long battle with cancer. He was a loving, generous father and husband with a great sense of humor. My parents were married for 54 years and were truly each other’s best friend. His loss has left a gaping hole in our family and the past few weeks have been grueling. My mom spent the last three months taking care of my dad, and during this time, my sibling took a substantial amount of money from her without her knowledge. He then left the country just two days after my dad passed away, and as a result my mom is now struggling to cover basic expenses like food, medicine, and essential bills. She needs financial help and deserves time to grieve without having to bear this burden.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are reaching out to you during this incredibly difficult time. Any contribution — no matter how small — will bring some relief, help my mom regain her footing, and let her focus on healing. Please know how grateful we are for your friendship and support, and thank you in advance for whatever you're able to do.
</div>

<p><a href="https://www.strava.com/athletes/2892357" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Click here to track my daily progress</a> <strong><br /><br />Riding to break the cycle of violence </strong>[Warning:  it's a little graphic] <br />In 2014, I lent my apartment in London to a friend who was on her way back from India.  When she met me to return the key, she told me about the brothel she visited and the sex slave who, impregnated by a customer, had put blankets under her bed as a makeshift place for her 6 month old infant to sleep.   When customers visited, she either kept the baby underneath the bed or would ask another worker to care for the baby until the client left. <br /><br />This reality was so far removed from my comfortable life that I knew I had to help.  Since its inception, I've partnered with the nonprofit <a href="http://embersinternational.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Embers International</a> who helps protect and empower children born into brothels and are trapped in repeated cycles of exploitation. <br /><br /><strong>1 Mile, 1 Child</strong><br />On Friday June 11, I will begin a three week gravel ride of the Continental Divide; some of the most majestic scenery in America stretching from Montana to New Mexico.  Every mile biked will bring badly needed resources to children born into brothels in India's Turbhe red-light district. <br /><br /><strong>-&gt; $20</strong> feeds an entire family for 2 weeks <br /><strong>-&gt; $50</strong> provides a child with a school uniform for 1 year <br /><strong>-&gt; $100</strong> shelters a child born into a brothel for 30 nights <br /><strong>-&gt; $125</strong> provides 1 month of trauma-informed counseling to 20 children<br /><strong>-&gt; $500</strong> helps expand programs to serve children with special needs and teach those who have aged out of the school system<br /><strong>-&gt; $1,200</strong> provides 1 month of daycare to children in a red-light district<br /><br />100% of proceeds go to <a href="http://embersinternational.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Embers International,</a> a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization <br />100% of expenses (bike equipment, travel, and endless Snickers bars) paid by me <br /><br /><a href="../../../f/1mile1child/donate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">[ DONATE HERE! ]</a> <br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/57328683_1623236707977658_r.jpeg" alt="57328683_1623236707977658_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />Photo credit: Adventure Cycling Association<br /><br /><br />I will be climbing thousands of feet in elevation daily on a fully loaded gravel bike, and camping or staying in hostels or motels as available along the route; no support cars! <br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/57328683_162325257766157_r.jpeg" alt="57328683_162325257766157_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><br />While I'll be self-supported, I am starting with about 200 other gravel bikepackers on Friday (Jun 11) in Roosville MT at the Canadian border and hope to find some new friends to ride with.  <strong>#tourdivide2021</strong><br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/57328683_1622501329544794_r.jpeg" alt="57328683_1622501329544794_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><br />My goal is to complete 1000 miles of the Tour Divide.  Please help Embers  @<a href="https://instagram.com/embersint" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">embersint</a>  and me @<a href="https://instagram.com/darrenjer" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">darrenjer</a> finish this JER-NEY by following us on Instagram! <br /><br /><a href="../../../f/1mile1child/donate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">[ DONATE HERE! </a>]<br /><br />And remember, if you walk, run, hike, or bike a mile, don't forget to tag it <strong>#1mile1child</strong> !
