Volunteer Spotlight- Meet Kerrianne

Meet our volunteer in the spotlight, Mrs. Kerrianne Cravens. 
Kerrianne has been volunteering for the Jaymie Jamison Foundation since the beginning. Kerrianne was a Member at Large in 2012. 

When asked why she volunteers Kerrianne said, "I volunteer because I have had people in my family who have suffered with and bear the scars of some sort of gynecological cancer or passed from it.  When Jaymie was sick and after she passed, I wanted to channel the helpless feelings and the want to do something for other people into something meaningful."

Kerrianne described why she feels the Foundation is important by saying, "The foundation is important because there are so many tools and  resources out there to prevent these diseases. No one really wants to "talk" about down there..  I think the foundation takes away some of the stigma.  Also, it's a vehicle for women who want to get their story out there to help other women and families."

When asked what her favorite event is Kerrianne said, "My favorite event.  That's a tough one because they all serve a different purpose.  I would have to say Panties Across The Bridge. To see the panties hung and actually think about who and why each one are there is a very humbling experience."

Thank you Kerrianne for your hard work and dedication. We cannot thank you enough!
