Genentech, maker of Avastin, has created a "Jenny McDevitt" award for her tireless work to rid the world of brain cancer. They also created this touching video. Jenny was awesome. She was a driving force behind Team McGraw, she ran marathons while on chemo, appeared on national TV and testified before Congress. I was fortunate to get to visit with Jenny one last time at last year's Chicago Marathon. My friend and hero fought the good fight and showed me the meaning of tough.
(UPDATE 9/29/11 - Genentech pulled this video off the web today for some reason. Very disappointing. But I am still amaze at the impact Jenny has on the world!)

Thank you Kevin, for sharing this beautiful tibute video. Jenny truly was the most amazing & inspiring person I have ever met in my life. She taught me that there is "nothing in this life that you can't do." She truly lived Tug McGraw's motto of: "Ya Gotta Believe."
ReplyDeleteHer fighting, loving, caring, & inspiring spirit lives on in those lives she touched & changed. I know, because she changed my life, and I am blessed.
I can't believe they pulled this off!! It was my sister in law and brought us back some of the best memories we had of her! We were able to feel her warmth and see her smile that we once saw daily! Now we can't get access to it!! The guy who re wrote the song "halleluja" and sung it was AMAZING!! They should really allow people to watch it!!
ReplyDeleteSorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.
