ONE YOUNG GIRL, ONE BIG HEART, READY TO MAKE A
DIFFERENCE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Hi my name is Jasmine Jordan, I'm a 16 year old Junior at
Ashby School in Ashby, MN.
For the past two years I have been training hard running as my
sights were set on getting to and to compete in the 2012 summer
Olympics, however all that has had to be put on hold.
My parents own and run a small trucking company, as well as a
pilot car company for oversize loads. We had a driver by the
name of Sheila Grothe whom worked for the pilot car side of the
business,ever since my Mom expanded and needed to hire more
people, Sheila took sick a year and a half ago and we lost her to
Cancer on April 17 2009.
On that day I made a decision, that I will do something to change
the system so people who don't have medical coverage that will
pay for treatments like Sheila needed will have options.
Growing up in a trucking family environment I do understand the
need for truckers and all involved in the trucking business to stay
healthy, as thats the way they make a living and make it possible
for many others to make a living as well "AMERICA MOVES BY
TRUCK".
I learned of the St. Christopher's fund and the work they do and
felt I could make a difference starting there.
http://www.truckersfund.com/Sept 1 2009 I will run from Los Angeles, CA. To New York City,
NY. My goal is to raise attention to the growing problem with
people who have medical issues who are under insured and not
insured.
We have all seen how generous our country has been in the past,
I believe even in economic hard times we still make a big
difference.
Will you help me make the difference that is so needed, together
we will change the future for the better.
Thank you in advance for your support.
