Spotlight On: Jill Boysen, Team Captain of Judi’s Jems

Why I Want to Make Breakthroughs for Brain Tumors.

My mom, Judi, was the most caring woman I knew. It’s been 8 months and 1 day since she passed and it still feels like yesterday.

When I saw the date of the Breakthrough for Brain Tumors Chicago 5K Run/Walk, I couldn’t help but think it was fitting that the walk falls just two days after the first anniversary of my mom’s passing and one day before Mother’s Day. I cannot think of a better way to honor my mom’s memory than by raising money and walking in her honor.

We will walk every year until a cure is found to ensure no family has to experience what we have. We want to be part of the breakthroughs that are made.
