Presentation Transcript

CJ’s Thumbs Up Foundation :

CJ’s Thumbs Up Foundation Incorporated January 6, 2010

Slide 2:

On July 9, 2005, Charlotte Jennie Reynolds (CJ) greeted the world. To her parents, she was one in a million.

Slide 3:

On January 20, 2009, CJ became 1 in 13 million. That was the day she was diagnosed with a large, aggressive brain cancer. A primitive neuroectodermal tumor in the middle of her brain.

Slide 4:

During the next year, she fought the tumor and its effects with: 4 brain surgeries 3 rounds of inpatient chemo 8 weeks of proton radiation in Houston, Texas Physical Therapy Occupational Therapy More outpatient chemo with a variety of medications Countless hospitalizations and clinic visits

Slide 5:

All of her hair fell out. TWICE. She was still beautiful!

Slide 6:

When all medical options had been exhausted, the tumor slowly invaded her system once again. Our little caterpillar grew a cocoon around her. She prepared for the journey to come.

Slide 7:

On January 7, 2010, CJ lost her battle with cancer. She transformed into a beautiful butterfly and flew away.

Slide 8:

In an effort to capture the positive energy and support that surrounded her family during that stressful year, we have founded the CJ’s Thumbs Up Foundation (CJSTUF).

Slide 9:

Our mission is to provide financial assistance to families of children with chronic and life threatening illnesses.

Slide 10:

Beginning in June 2010, we will provide a number of monetary gifts to families on an annual basis. In the first year of the foundation, we will give away at least $10,000 to hospitalized children and their families at VCU Children’s Hospital.

Slide 11:

With your financial support, we can reach more families in more hospitals all over the country.
