Michael Greene, Bringing The New ‘Jack-to-Jack’ Program To Life - But Getting So Much More!
Michael Greene was thrown into caregiving for his wife, Sarah, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010. At the time, he had no peers he could relate to; no one he could talk to about what he was going through.
It was 4 years before Jack’s Caregiver Coalition had formed, so he didn’t have the cool events to go to, where he could shoot the shit with guys who were in that cancer-initiated group.
With summer finally here, it’s the perfect weather to have a BBQ, and that’s exactly what we did at our BBQ Fam Jam—but to us, the event is so much more than just another BBQ! It’s an event where Jack's members can meet and spend time with Jack's volunteers. It’s the perfect opportunity for everybody to meet the great people that create this Jack's family.
Meat Travis Robertson, Our Meat and Axe Throwing Workshop ChampionSo Travis, what's one super interesting thing about you, and where's home? Proud owner of over 5,000 Christmas songs ranging from classic to reggae to hip hop. I’m originally from St. Louis Missouri (Go Cards!) but have lived in Minnetonka for more than half of my life. So if cancer caregiving is a journey, where would you say you are on yours?
Meet Heather Erickson, our Caregiver Klatch ChampionHeather Erickson plays a lot of roles, a primary cancer caregiver, a Mom, a wife, a teacher, an author, a blogger. The list goes on. And most recently she's assumed the role of our Caregiver Klatch Champion! So Heather, what's one super interesting thing about you, and where's home? Just one? I did recently take 1st place in a duck decoy carving competition. It was my first duck, too. Home for me is anywhere my family is. We live in Blaine, Minnesota. So if cancer caregiving is a journey, where would you say you are on yours?
