About Your Website Host09/14/08

My name is Ray Young. First of all let me say that it is my pleasure to host this website. My family and I have been a part of Camp Sunrise since 1995. Our youngest son Jarrett was diagnosed with Leukemia in Dec. 1994. In Nov 1998 he relapsed. In March of 1999 he underwent a successful bone marrow transplant in which his older brother was his donor. All was going well until March of 2004 when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor (GBM STAGE IV). On January 9th 2005 Jarrett passed away. (To learn more about Jarrett please feel free to visit www.jarrettsfund.com.)

We made a promise to Jarrett that we would continue his tradition of going to camp for him. This website is a just a small part of that promise.This site is my way of saying thanks to Jarrett for sharing 14 wonderful years with us, thanks to all of the volunteers that work tirelessly to put a smile on everyone's face. Thanks to all of the Doctors, nurses, Pa's etc. Thanks to the parents of these fantastic, courageous and brave children and most importantly THANK YOU to the children themselves who put their faith, hope, love and trust in all of us involved in Camp. They are the only reason why we are here.

Ray
