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.
