Opportunity with Community Medical Center in Toms River, NJ

There is not a person on this earth that has better interpersonal skills then my incredible wife Kristy. She gets along with everyone and knows how to engage people on events and other opportunities to help us make a difference.

This morning Kristy called me at work very excited. She called to tell me we just made a HUGE connection with our local hospital, Community Medical Center in Toms River, NJ.

She was able to speak with the head nurse and explain that we would like to help them by giving them LIVESTRONG Notebooks, wristbands, support material, etc. This would potentially mean all cancer patients and cancer support groups there will get this material. The head nurse liked the idea especially given the hard economic times we are in the hospital is forced to cut certain programs, etc. so to get FREE support material she was pleased to hear it.

Kristy explained to her that I am a cancer survivor and briefly stated a few things we are doing and she asked my wife if I did guest speaking. She would like to see if I could speak to the nursing program. She said they would have time in March for me to go speak there.

Nothing has been finalized as they will be calling us back in the next few days to work out the details, but it just goes to show you what one phone call can do to help our cause.

I can tell that LIVESTRONG Army Ocean County NJ is going to take off in 2009 and it will be my wife who helps lead the effort. Thank you Kristy for getting us this opportunity!

LIVESTRONG!
