Meet Stacy Holbert!

This photo shows Stacy and her two children at the Panties Across the Bridge event. 

Stacy is Jaymie's sister. Stacy was asked why she volunteers. Stacy responded, " I do it all for my big sister Jaymie. Jaymie and I didn't get to grow up together, because we have different moms. Once we got older we were able to hang out more. But then we got even older and had kids and families of our own and life took over. I didn't always make the time that I wish I would have now to go visit with my sister and just hang out. So now that she is gone I will do everything in my power to spread her word and help other sisters, mothers, daughters become knowledgeable about Gynecological cancers."

Stacy was then asked what her favorite event is. "I would have to say my favorite event is Panties Across the Bridge. We raise SOOOO much awareness with this event. Next to it, my favorite is The Panties Across the Bridge Car wash. This is an event that I host to help raise funds and panties for the actual PATB event."

Thank you Stacy for all that you do for the Jaymie Jamison Foundation for Hope.

Fruit Water Anyone?

We hear all the time how pop can affect our health. The sugar is bad for our teeth, our health, actually makes us tired, and some studies show that pop can actually cause cancer. So why do we continue to drink it? 

Here is a yummy, but naturally sweet drink to replace it with. Fruit water! All you need is water and fruit of your choice!

Cut up your favorite fruit and add it to a jar. Try any combination of fruits and add lemon, cucumber or different herbs for flavoring! Then fill the glass or pitcher up with water. Refrigerate over night. Over night the fruit naturally flavors the water making it naturally sweet. Makes a healthy sweet drink to replace pop with! Great for your kids as well!

Let us know your favorite combination!

Meet Gail Hacker! 

Gail is one of the founding members of this Foundation. Gail has been there from the first meeting and has given her full support. 

Gail says " it is important for me to volunteer because I was there when Jaymie was sick. I saw what she went through, what her kids went through, what her parents went through, what her husband went through. And it made me realize my grand babies could lose their mother someday. Too many young women are losing their lives and they don't have too. I don't want to see anymore people die to this cancer."

Gail's favorite event is Panties Across the Bridge. You can find her working in the t-shirt booth with the biggest smile on her face. 

Thank you Gail for everything you have done and everything you continue to do. Your awesome!

Hope Jamison is in our volunteer spotlight this week!

Hope is Jaymie's oldest daughter. Hope was 14 when Jaymie passed away. Hope says "it is important for me to volunteer because Jaymie was my mom and we had never heard of this type of cancer before she was diagnosed. And watching someone you love wither away is hard. I don't want anyone else to have to experience that, no matter what age you are. That's why it's important for me to volunteer so no one has to experience what we did". 

Hope's favorite event is Panties Across the Bridge. Hope envisioned and created  Panties Across the Bridge at 14. Now she is 17 and has experienced and been actively involved in shaping our largest awareness event the last 3 years. She currently is working hard toward our July 12th Panties Across the Bridge. 

Thank you Hope for everything you do.
