Read below about the Jimmy Fund mission:

Cancer doesn’t discriminate. It can strike anyone and it affects us all. Man. Woman, Child. People aged 8 days to 80 years. Every day, 3,000 Americans are diagnosed with the disease. But with your help, the Jimmy Fund is beating cancer.
The Jimmy Fund has been working toward “a world without cancer” for more than 50 years - with the help of thousands of people like you.
Since 1948, when Dana-Farber founder Dr. Sidney Farber was pioneering early methods of chemotherapy in cramped quarters in the basement of Children’s Hospital, Jimmy Fund contributions have provided the underlying support for innovative cancer research at Dana-Farber.
Jimmy Fund dollars have enabled Dana-Farber’s researchers and clinicians to pursue new ideas and to make discoveries now in use worldwide:

•    More advanced diagnostic tools to detect cancer earlier
•    New drugs and new combinations of drugs to treat cancer more effectively and with fewer side effects
•    More precise radiation techniques
•    Better surgical options
•    Deeper understanding of the factors that cause cancer and the development of therapies that prevent the disease.

New ways to treat cancers are continually being explored at Dana-Farber, and a new understanding of the basic genetic components of cancer cells has suggested cancer treatment strategies that would have been inconceivable only a decade ago.
Today, nearly 80 percent of children and more than 60 percent of adults with cancer are surviving. But we still have a long way to go: nearly 1.2 million people are expected to be diagnosed with cancer this year.
Each and every gift made to the Jimmy Fund is critical to Dana-Farber’s efforts to prevent, treat, and cure cancer. You can help by giving generously to the Jimmy Fund - because it takes more than courage to beat cancer.

#1 Set a fitness goal with a plan, and make the decision to attain that goal. The path to the goal will most likely go many directions, but when you make that decision to succeed, you will be motivated to plow forward until you reach that goal. Your most powerful tool is making that decision.

#2 Never Give Up. An unfinished fitness program is of no use and a waste of time. Quitting is never an option when it’s in your heart to achieve what you desire to become. Develop the habit of winning. Winning is never giving up and understanding that there’s always going to be things and issues that will try to slow us down or keep us unfocused. Keep your eyes on the prize/goal.

#3 Socialize with people that want to win. We will develop the attitudes of our friends. If you associate with slackers you are most likely to slack. Socialize with motivated people and you are likely to stay motivated and achieve.

#4 Use your resource. The more we know about the science of exercise and its components, the more we want to learn about it. With knowledge comes success.

#5 Talent motivates. We all have talents and skills. Talent and skills creates motivation, motivation creates persistence and persistence gets you to your goal.

#6 Mistakes are good. We all make mistakes, Mistakes are learning tools. No one has ever succeeded without making mistakes. When we make mistakes- the lesson is learned, we learned not to repeat it. This will get us further in our mission towards the goal that we set for ourselves.

There is no point in getting motivated and then putting it into a drawer, because that’s where it will be-in the dark forever. Be true and take action NOW, and know this, “if you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got” so I will say it in bold again, take action & make it happen NOW!
