Thanks to our generous Network
(that’s YOU, generous reader) we’ve had a very good first half of the year. Revenue is exceeding expectations due to
increased donations, more successful fundraising events, and the release of
Rachel’s book, Four Seasons ForCharlotte: A Parent’s Year With Pediatric Cancer. It seems that so far, we have been doing things
the correct way and our mission is being well-supported.

We are also modifying our online
presence a bit. In the near future, you
will see more regular (weekly) blog posts covering various aspects of
CJSTUF.org. We are currently gathering
stories and profiles of our Board of Directors, staff, local medical
professionals, events, partnering non-profits, and most importantly, the reason
we exist - our families. We will
spotlight these courageous families in an attempt to inspire the reader to do
more, to dig deeper, or simply to help the healing process by making the
families aware that they are not alone in their struggle.
You will soon be seeing small updates
(in both look and function) to the website and social media outlets to include
software upgrades, calendars, new widgets, and more efficient ways to keep up,
and become involved, with CJSTUF.org.
One thing we are NOT changing is the
mission. We will also never forget the
curly-haired, sweet-voiced little girl whose strength and courage is the
inspiration for what we do every day. (We still miss you, Charlotte!)
It’s an exciting and bittersweet time
for us here at CJ’s Thumbs Up Foundation as we continue to move forward, or as
Jonathan Agin signs off of daughter Alexis’, Caringbridge posts, “…we are one
day further, yet one day closer…”
We are so thankful to all who are
helping us make unbearable situations a little more bearable.
