Just a reminder that the annual Jimmy Fund telethon is currently underway on WEEI. If you've sworn off sports radio or just EEI in general, you should tune in for a little bit over the next couple of days to hear some of the stories. There are successes but there are also unfortunately still too many failures.

You can donate by following the link above and then clicking the donate link, you can call 877-738-1234 or you can text #KCANCER to 20222 to make a $25 gift.

Just to leave you with a nice success story, here's Jordan Leandre. For those not familiar with him he was a Dana Farber patient and National Anthem singer multiple times at Fenway through the years dating back to 2004 I believe. Anyhow, to show what Dana Farber and the Jimmy Fund can do here are a couple photos.

Here's Jordan in 2006 when he was 6 and sang the anthem on Opening Day.


Here's Jordan last week leading off first base at the old time baseball game (Gordie Gronk holding him on to give you perspective - the kid is a healthy 6 foot, 220 lbs).
