What We Discuss with Erik and Dan: ⁃ The Worst News Ever, that Your Child Will Die of Cancer ⁃ Curing a Bad Day for Children with Cancer ⁃ SpyScape Museum Gala in New York & the Intersection of Fighting Spies and Cancer ⁃ Shining a Light on Joy ⁃ Bringing Purpose to Pain About the Jessie Rees Foundation:For more than 30 years, Erik Rees has dedicated himself to empowering people to use their lives to helping others. Erik began his career in 1993 as a pastor, strategist and trainer at world-renowned Saddleback Church, where he helped grow the congregation from 3,000 to more than 30,000 followers over a 20-year period. During this amazing time he helped train church leaders around the world on keys to building an "Empowering Church". In addition, he wrote several best selling's books: SHAPE: Finding & Fulfilling Your Purpose In Life and Only You Can Be You: 21 Days to Living Your Purpose.On March 3, 2011 he and his wife, Stacey, were told their 11 year old daughter, Jessie, had terminal brain cancer. As Jessie started her treatment at Children's Hospital of Orange County, she discovered there were many other kids fighting cancer that couldn't leave the hospital. Upon hearing this news, Jessie created her fun-filled JoyJars to hand out. She also created and adopted her NEGU (Never Ever Give Up) message and motto, which she loved sharing. Sadly Jessie lost her fight to cancer on January 5, 2012.Under the daily leadership with his wife, the Jessie Rees Foundation has become a beacon of help and hope for all children impacted by cancer. Since 2011, the foundation has raised over $32M, teamed up with over 40,000 volunteers, sent out over 420,000 JoyJars, and given away over $2.5M in financial support. ? Thanks, Erik!
