Volunteer Spotlight: Ginger Roberts

Meet one of our Board Members, Ginger Roberts!
This amazing lady is Jaymie's aunt, Cheryl's sister.  Ginger has been part of our awareness committee, playing a large part in attending health fairs and representing the Foundation and helping to spread awareness for gynecological cancers. 

Ginger was asked why she volunteers for the Jaymie Jamison Foundation for Hope. She replied, "Well, of course the main reason is because Jaymie was my niece and we all really miss her. It helps to do something to try to make sense of her death and to try to make sure we get the word out to as many women as we can to save others the pain we are feeling. Since we started the foundation my reasons have evolved and I just want to save women, sisters, children, aunts and mothers from this disease."

She was asked why she feels thebFoundation is important. She said, "The foundation is important because we can make women aware of the cost of neglecting themselves. This disease is deadly and when I look at our Wall of Angels, Fighters and Survivors I realize that it is taking so many young women. We can't give up or get tired or bored, we have to get out there and fight for women. Jaymie would have been proud of what we are doing!"

Ginger was asked what her favorite event is. She said "What is your favorite event?
I would have to say that Panties Across the Bridge is my favorite event, but the luncheon comes in a close second."

Thanks Ginger for all you do to spread awareness for gynecological cancer awareness!
