Do you donate to charity during the holidays?
In my journey to bring awareness to everyone about testicular cancer, it is my hope that people consider the TCAF (Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation) which was started by my friend Kim whose son Jordan was diagnosed at the young age of 15.

Here's some info about this foundation:
Mission Statement
TCAF is a national non-profit, 501(c) (3) corporation, that is dedicated to educating young men of the importance of monthly self-examinations through educational materials and marketing efforts, and to help support research and clinical studies.
About Us
We are dedicated to the education and awareness of testicular cancer in honor of Jordan Jones, who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of testicular cancer stage IV at the age of 13. After his diagnosis he and his family were told by doctors at the number one cancer center in the nation, that he was inoperable and that the tumors were taking over his body. They were also told that if they did chance the surgery and he were to survive, he would have a very poor quality of life.
Because of diligent research by his father and mother, support of his family, friends, prayers from all over, medical doctors, holistic care, and Jordan’s incredible attitude, he is a survivor. With an amazing story Jordan is an inspiration to many. Jordan attends Grand Junction High School in Western Colorado where he is a Honor Roll Student, is on the varsity football teams, along with lacrosse, and plays the cello in orchestra. He is a shining example of positive thinking and will power.

I realize during these economic-hard-times, that you may be unable to donate. But would you be able to join me in spreading awareness?
If your efforts could save just 1 life,
it truly is worth it!
Allen went for his "routine" 6 month check up for CAT scan, xray and blood work, and had an appointment today to meet with his Oncologist for those results.
