Fundraiser for Jason

On Monday, January 31st Jason had an accident that has changed the path of his life for at least the next 18 months. For reasons unknown, he blacked out while on his way to work that afternoon. He drifted off the side of the road, down an embankment, over a stump and into a tree. While at Mt. View Hospital in Payson they did routine blood tests and discovered that he had an extremely low white blood cell count. They had him taken by ambulance to UVRMC in Provo. They did more blood tests and discovered that not only were his white blood cells extremely low, but also his platelets. They kept him overnight and the next morning gave him the news that he had Leukemia. They took a bone marrow sample and sent him to the LDS Hospital in SLC to the 8th floor East wing Leukemia unit. We now know that he has Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia, which is a rare and aggressive type of Leukemia, but also the most treatable. The Dr’s have told him that his chance of survival can be as high as 80%….which is good news. But this also means that he will be missing a minimum of 3 months of work. At the time that this was discovered Jason only had 1 day of vacation left. Jade, his wife, has not left his side during this time and her vacation time will also soon be exhausted. As you can imagine at a time like this the last thing Jason needs to worry about is paying his house payment, and putting food on the table for the kids. The only thing he should be worrying about is staying strong and fighting this battle. Even though he will qualify for short term disability, he has to be out of work for 5 months to get it. As of right now they also have a $5000.00 out of pocket expense they must meet for their health insurance. Not only is a cancer diagnosis devastating, but the financial strain is also very difficult. Every dollar donated makes a difference. The first night he was at LDS Hospital he was very frightened as you can imagine, and with tears rolling down his cheeks he told the nurse “He ain’t takin’ me yet! I’m not ready to go, I have 5 little kids to raise and I plan on seeing my little girl get married” The nurse leaned over close and said “You are dang lucky to be here, we don’t fight this battle with guns, we use cannons!” Jason is in a fight for his life right now, but it is a battle he can win. With the love and support of family, friends, and even complete strangers he can beat this!! Jason and Jade are the proud parents of 4 boys and 1 girl: Braeden 13, Gage 9, Brock 7, Porter 6 and Afton 3. For those of you that don’t know, Jason is the oldest son of Brenda(Mike)Norman and the late Richard Walker. He has 2 brothers Jeremy and Jordan along with Sister in Law’s Rachel and Jaesha, and Nephews and Niece, Colton, Keston, Gaige, and Jentry As well as many Step-Brothers and Sisters and their families. “Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway” ~ John Wayne



This is my cousin Jason Walker.  I along with my Tupperware business is doing a Fundraiser for him and his family.  If you would like to help out, please go to my link.  Not only will you help someone but you will get someting that will last a lifetime.  40% of the sales will go to Jason from Tupperware.  My profit will also go to him.  Remember "nothing is more gratifying than knowing you did some good for someone".  I love the feeling I get when I do what I know is the right thing to do.  There is nothing that can change that. 

Thanks to everyones support!
