After enduring incredible pain and grief at the loss of their young daughter, Rachel and Roger Reynolds established the CJ’s Thumbs Up Foundation (CJSTUF) in their daughter’s name as a mechanism to “pay it forward” and help others in need. Charlotte Jennie (CJ) passed away at home on January 7, 2010 at just 4 1/2 years old after battling cancer. But CJ never stopped bringing joy and love to her parents every day throughout her ordeal.
CJSTUF offers everyone an opportunity to do something for others and help those parents who are dealing with the challenges, fear, anger, disappointment, and financial issues associated with childhood cancer. And here’s a family-friendly event that makes it fun to help others who need it most.
