We are in awe at the number of people who have felt it in their heart to contribute to James' surgery fund. This response has warmed our hearts and strengthened our belief in the humanity of mankind. James is walking on cloud nine and is looking forward to his first surgery on November 9th. I'm sure the upcoming football season and knowing he will be home recuperating during some of the season is keeping his mind at ease.
There is talk of another Little Caesars fundraiser, I'll keep you updated here.

Our Goal
James was born with Neurofibromatosis. As a child he had surgery pretty much every year to keep up with the growths on his face. His dad would take the family on a summer vacation after his surgeries so he could recover and have fun. When he turned 18 he didn't have any more insurance to cover more surgeries. The tumors have stopped growing now and he would love to have the last procedures done. Several years ago he was told that his insurance company wouldn't cover it because he was born with the condition, so we are working toward a goal of $50,000 to cover the cost of treatment and recovery. We really won't know how much money is needed until he is thoroughly evaluated, but James is very excited that we have taken this project on, but I know he's a little leery of it actually happening. I am committed to doing everything I can to get him into the recovery room.

What you guys are doing is great!
Keep up the good work!
I'm a journalist based in London, UK, and would love to look into writing a magazine story about James and his fundraising. Could you contact me with an email address if you are interested in discussing this idea further?
Kindest regards,
