Welcome to Eddie's NYC Fundraising Page!
Hello! First, I understand the value of time, so please know I am truly appreciative you've made it this far.
In loving memory of Jazmine, a cherished cousin, friend, and bright light in our lives: In October of 2021, Jazmine fought bravely but tragically did not recover from a stroke. As we continue to grieve her loss, we also remember her vibrant spirit, her infectious laughter(iykyk), and the love she shared with all who knew her. In honor of Jazmine's memory, I am raising funds to support stroke research and awareness efforts for Tedy's Team, which you can read about below.
Your contribution will help prevent others from experiencing the pain her 2 sons, mother, brother, friends and family, feel today. I hope that you and I can come together to honor Jazmine's legacy and make a difference in the fight against strokes. I always felt like I had a place in this world whenever I got to see her. Our bond was based on acceptance, laughter, and love. I run for her because I don't want to let that feeling go. I also hope that no one else has to deal with that sort of loss.
Your generosity will ensure that her memory lives on, shining brightly in the lives of others in all the ways she's meant to bless those who love her. Thank you for your support.
