2011 Jimmy Fund Walk

14 07 2011

It’s that time of year again, when I realize how little I’ve posted on the blog.

I’m walking again for the Jimmy Fund Walk. My 2011 donation page is here: http://www.jimmyfundwalk.org/2011/jcapayne

Please see: Last year’s post where I outlined my reasons for walking.

2010 Jimmy Fund

15 08 2010
Its a sad truth that everyone gets touched by cancer.  I’ve lost family members, and both my mother and mother-in-law are survivors.  In my team at work, we have 2 survivors.  One of those, is my manager Joe.

Early last year, my wife and I celebrated the birth of our first child, Abigail Cerys.  2 weeks later, Joe and his wife celebrated the birth of their second daughter Abigail Mae.  Since Joe started working at my company, we have become quite good friends.  We laughed about the coincidence of our choice of names and I looked forward to talking about fatherhood with him.

Less than 3 months later, Joe’s Abby was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor.  6 weeks later, on her 4 month birthday, she passed away.
That’s why I’m walking for the Jimmy Fund for the second time on Sunday September 12th 2010.  If you are able to support me, please visit http://www.jimmyfundwalk.org/2010/jcapayne

There’s some more info about Abby on these 2 sites:

Thanks everyone.
