Meet Grayson!
He is the kindest, sweetest, strongest kid with the biggest heart! He is currently in Eighth Grade, his last year of middle school. He LOVES the Detroit Lions (he is the epitome of GRIT) and football. He played for the Canton Lions Junior Football League last year and has been able to play limited practices with his team this year but is unable to do anything with tackle this year.
He loves animals, especially our two golden retrievers Ernie and Gus and his guinea pig Pookie. He is a huge Eminem fan, every day during his radiation treatments, the staff would ask what he wanted to listen to…every day his answer was always the same, Eminem. He also loves fishing, soccer, baseball, video games, board and card games, amusement parks, camping and is ALWAYS willing and ready to try something new.
Grayson is an inspiration to so many, he has been through so much and come so far this year and taken every obstacle one at a time to get where he is today. Not to say the journey is done, he still has some struggles, but he faces them each day and continues to give his all in everything he does. We are so incredibly thankful for this opportunity!
We can’t wait to take Grayson and his family to Disney World with the help of Jersey Mikes, Kroger, Planet Fitness, Masco, Kinetyc, Emagine Theatres, Canterbury Village, Village of Rochester, Glenlore Trails and our charitable partner Angels of Hope!
Each child that Jay’s Juniors has had the privilege to help has a unique and inspiring story. Listen to an exclusive audio clip from the Jay Towers in the Morning show, where Jay talks about the child’s story and the impact Jay’s Juniors has had on their life. We invite you to get to know these incredible kids and celebrate their strength and joy with us.
