Breaking News!!!

Jam the Gym is proud to announce a very special guest!  Former Penn State Nittany Lion, and Olympic Silver medalist Christa Harmotto!!!  Come meet Christa on Sept 5th!  She will be serving as Honorary Captain!  Welcome Christa...

Here we are, a mere 6 days away.  I cannot believe that things have gone the way they have.  I am still struggling with the idea of a past tense.  Jam the Gym will never be the same, yet THIS one HAS to be the biggest, BEST one ever.  My friend Jaime deserves nothing less than a terrific night.  We are determined to give her just that.

To that end, we have developed a schedule of events for our evening.  With God's grace, and Jaime looking down on us, here is how we are planning for things to go.

          Gym B will remain open for purchases until the end of the High School match.

     8:00-Point Park will be playing a intersquad match.  This team is a nationally ranked program.  I  know  these ladies will be going hard.        
 During the College warm-up the 50/50 will be awarded along with the prize baskets.  Results of

          these drawings will be posted along the matted wall near the gyms exit.  Baskets can be picked up in

          the lobby after the match.

     Please consider joining us for the Biggest, Best Jam the Gym yet.  It will be an emotional evening        we'll all get through it TOGETHER...

Last Monday, we learned of the passing of our dear, beautiful, friend Jaime Moran.  It was Jaime who inspired us to start Jam the Gym, it was Jaime who wanted to give back with Jam the Gym 2, and Jaime's imprint will be on Jam the Gym 3, and on into the future.  This news has left those of us lucky enough to have known and loved her with a giant hole in our hearts.  We will miss her fighting spirit and her brilliant smile.  We take comfort in the knowledge that Jaime's place in the Kingdom is assured, and we will meet her again, someday.

I am a 26 year old female currently battling ALL (Acute Lymphomic Leukemia) for the third time in my life. After each battle I had thought I won, five to six years passed of healthy living and freedom which allowed me to grow as a person in every way possible. I am looking forward to ending this battle once and for all. Here is my story:
