Meet Shannon Helton!

Shannon has been a volunteer since the beginning of the Jaymie Jamison Foundation for Hope. When asked why she volunteers she replied, "Jaymie was a friend of mine. I have seen what her family went through and is still going through to this very day. I don't want this to happen to anyone else's family. I want my girls to be educated on gynecological cancers. I want to make sure they and all of my loved ones know about prevention, signs and symptoms."

Shannon was asked what her favorite event is. She answered, " I enjoy Panties Across the Bridge because of the awareness we bring to people, but mostly I love giving back and helping other people by supporting them or educating them."

Shannon is the sponsorship coordinator for the organization. Please contact her at shelton@jaymiejamisonfoundation.org to learn about sponsorship opportunities.

Meet Laura Love!

Laura is one of our newest volunteers! Laura discovered the Jaymie Jamison Foundation for Hope after seeing a sign for a Panties Across the Bridge Car wash out on by Jaymie's sister. She has volunteered ever since!

When asked why she volunteers she said, "I volunteer because it is a way to honor my mom who lost her battle in 1985. I love the bridge event the most because I enjoy educating people about how important our cause is. My goal is to tell everyone I ever come in contact with about the foundation and why we do what we do. Young girls especially need to be educated."  

Laura we love your passion to help us raise awareness! Thank you for everything you do!

This week in our volunteer spotlight is Wrai Fite!

Meet Wrai

Wrai was interviewed and asked why she volunteers for the Jaymie Jamison Foundation for Hope. She responded, "I volunteer for selfish reasons I believe.  I love Jaymie and the way she was soft spoken and how she was always a happy person.  My daughter and Jaymie grew up together, played together, lived together and loved together.  Cheryl is one of my closest friends and my heart bled for her, Jeff, Hopie who voice brings tears to my eyes, Lexi who stuck to her mom like glue, Maddie who is a duplicate of Jaymie and of course Jett who Jaymie was so proud to finally have her son for Her and Jon.  I love this family and volunteering is what I can do to feel close to Jaymie and the kids.  If one person would not have to go through what Jaymie went through, then the little time that I volunteer is worth everything to me."

Wrai was then asked what her favorite event is. She stated, "The Panties Across the Bridge Event.  It was our first voice about Jaymie and her family."

Thanks Wrai for all you do to help make women everywhere aware of gynecological cancers!
