Our big month is here! 
September is where we put our energy into raising Childhood Cancer Awareness. 
Yes, this does include our young adults through age 24. 
We are currently promoting the “CJ’s Journey Gold Ribbon Campaign” in
several area restaurants which runs the entire month of September. 
All the money raised with our “Golf Ribbon Campaign” goes directly into
the recently creating “CJ’s Journey Fund for Sarcoma Research at Washington
University in Memory of CJ Aubuchon”.  We have decided that it would be best to
place our research dollars closer to home for desperately needed sarcoma
research.

September is our time, in the Childhood Cancer
Community, where we can spread the word that “Yes” cancer is still taking our
children!  Please remember that
unlike most adult cancers, the majority of childhood cancers are not preventable
and do not have early warning signs, making it so important to raise awareness,
which in turn provides funding, for desperately needed research. 
The epidemic continues to grow…unfortunately every family will be
effected, whether it is your neighbors, friends, nieces, nephews, grandchildren
or the unspeakable…..your own child. 
So please help us so we can prevent childhood cancer from being "part of
your world"!

You can help raise awareness by simply wearing a gold ribbon and
help raise funding by purchasing a gold ribbon at either the St. Charles Texas
Roadhouse, St. Charles Applebee’s, and the O’Charley’s        
St. Charles and O’Fallon locations during the month of
September.

I would like to personally welcome everyone to the new CJ's Journey website.
As CJ’s mother and president of CJ’s Journey I am so excited about the new direction in which we are heading.  We are starting the next chapter of CJ’s Journey-since becoming a 501 (c)(3).

We were successful prior to receiving our Non-Profit status, but now we have the potential to increase our ability to assist more children and their families fighting this unthinkable disease.  With our new status we will be able to approach businesses and organizations for assistance.  Please remember that we are an “all volunteer” organization-so your money goes directly into our programs!

I look forward to keeping you up to date on the childhood cancer front as we raise awareness which in turn raises funds needed for research and eventually finding a cure for the cancer that took our son, CJ.

Stay Positive, Be Happy and Continue to Smile!

In CJ’s Memory,
Jeanine
