 Jerry W. Walker Colorectal Cancer Foundation

http://jerrywwalkercolorectalcancerfoundation.org/

Jerry met his wife in South Africa back in 1980. Together, they have seen the world and been through a lot. In October of 2003, their life was thrown for a loop when Jerry was diagnosed with stage IV colorectal cancer. Since that time, Jerry battled cancer and a plethora of other health battles that had nearly taken his life. His cancer has metastasized considerably throughout his body.

Despite the incredible battles he waged against this disease, he still believed in living an active life. In fact, he and his wife have visited 14 different countries before in passed away in March of 2007.  Overall, he believed a positive attitude is key.

HFMA (Healthcare Financial Management Association) is having their Second "February is Jerry Walker Nursing Home Volunteer Month".  MDS (Medical Data Systems) is even sponsoring their event, donating $200 to the person who volunteers the most hours.

This prompted Neeva to make February their Official Jerry W Walker Colorectal Cancer Foundation Month. She kindly ask you to please donate at least one hour of your life to kindness. Whether you take someone food, pay them a visit, whatever you want to do - I promise you, it will make a difference.
