NEGU- Never Ever Give Up has become an inspirational cancer message and quote of encouragement for thousands of children fighting cancer around the world.
When 12-year-old Jessie Rees fought two inoperable brain tumors for 10 months, she used her message, NEGU: NEVER EVER GIVE UP, as her daily encouragement to stay strong, stay positive and to keep fighting. Through the delivery of her JoyJars to other children fighting cancer around the world, Jessie’s NEGU message has become a global inspirational message of encouragement to over 200,000 children fighting cancer. Jessie earned her wings in January 2012. Since then her family, her foundation and her 210,000 Facebook fans are dedicated to continuing to spread Jessie’s NEGU message to every child fighting cancer around the world.
Jessie’s JoyJars are stuffed full of fun, age-appropriate toys and delivered to kids fighting cancer in the hospital and delivered to their homes when they sign up for the FREE Year of JOY program.  
Over the course of a year, kids fighting cancer and their family members receive fun doses of hope, joy, and love.   These special “doses” are our gift to each qualifying courageous family that registers.  We truly hope all of this support helps your child and family feel loved, encouraged and supported as you fight cancer.
