Recipients Story:
Despite facing an incredibly difficult health challenge, Jen Linn
shared her time, passion and positive energy to improve the lives
of others. At the age of 33, Jen was diagnosed with a rare form
of cancer. While undergoing 3 major surgeries and countless doses
of chemotherapy, Jen created Spin4Survival.org to raise money for
research on cancer types which are extremely deadly, but don't get
the funding they desperately require. The First Annual Spin4Survival was an inspiring day that raised
$200,000. Jen is now sharing her time and energy to make the
Second Annual Spin4Survival in January 2008 bigger and better.
