No Evidence of Disease

6 OB Oncologists have created a rock band- No Evidence of Disease. These Dr Musicians are using their music to help connect with patients, give patients hope, and if course spread awareness for gynecological cancers. 

Recently, a movie was made about them. It's called The NEDMovie. It is being released in September. This movie is only being shown in select theaters. We have some exciting news! We can bring the movie to YOU in January!!!

On January 22, 2014 the Jaymie Jamison Foundation for Hope will be showing the NED movie at the Newport AMC movie theater on the Levee at 7:00PM. Tickets will go on sale at 12/19 at MIDNIGHT! Don't miss out! Follow our event here:

A Reminder

This lady is why we created our Foundation. 

Sometimes it is easy to lose sight of why you do what you do and need a reminder. Sometimes that reminder will give you a vision of what you could do next. 

When you volunteer for a charity or a cause you feel strongly about it, it isn't about you, or what you have done for the cause, and you shouldn't need a pat on your back for everything you do. It's ALL about that cause that you feel strongly about. In our case it is about helping other women to not have to go through what Jaymie did with battling cervical cancer. So other women do not have to die from this. 

So to everyone who volunteers for the cause;Thank YOU.
