Welcome!

Hello, all! This is Amanda Epstein and Rycke Guiney reporting from Marist College. This blog is part of our senior capping assignment, but this topic means a whole lot more to us than just a project. This is the story of our Friends of Jaclyn adoptee: Jaimie Ferretti. For those of you who don't know, Friends of Jaclyn (FOJ) is a not for profit organization that pairs up children with pediatric brain tumors with college and high school sports teams.

The Marist Women's Soccer Team adopted Jaimie through this program a year and a half ago. Our hope through this blog is to not only generate awareness for the foundation, but to show the world how Jaimie Ferretti changed our lives. These children need hope, and sports teams across the nation are able to give them something to believe in. Our goal is to start a movement. These kids need a voice and their stories deserve to be shared. With the help of FOJ founder, Jaclyn Murphy, we hope to encourage all teams to adopt, and go on to tell the world how their lives were changed by one extraordinary child. Stay tuned to hear more from us about our hero, Jaimie.

Live in the moment, play in the moment.
