Portrait of Jodie

A life remembered

In loving memory of Jodie.

Her face, her light, and the love she gave are part of the journey we carry forward together.

Jodie’s Journey

A life remembered. A light carried forward.

Jodie’s Journey was created to honor Jodie, keep her memory moving, and help more people understand the fight families face when cancer enters their lives.

Her experience with maxillary sinus cancer became part of a much larger story—one of love, courage, family, awareness, and the people who refuse to let someone’s light fade.

“The people we love never stop shaping the road ahead.”

    Why this page exists

    Turning remembrance into awareness and compassion.

    This page brings Jodie’s name, story, and purpose together in one place: to remember her, help people feel less alone, and keep attention on uncommon cancers that deserve to be understood.

    Remember Honor Jodie’s life and the love she gave to the people around her.
    Raise awareness Help others learn that rare and less-discussed cancers affect real families.
    Stand together Offer compassion to families carrying grief, uncertainty, and hope.

    Mission & accountability

    Her memory leads. The mission follows.

    Jodie’s story stays at the heart of this page. Below is the practical plan for carrying her memory across America and turning attention into direct help for people facing cancer.

    The memorial journey

    One last trip, and a reason to keep moving.

    I am carrying Jodie’s ashes across the country, honoring her at meaningful bodies of water and documenting the journey through lawful, permitted, and respectful drone flights.

    • Share a short video, photograph, and story from each memorial stop.
    • Raise awareness of maxillary sinus cancer and the weight families carry.
    • Provide practical support to vetted cancer patients and families.

    The route

    It begins in Appalachia.

    Eastern Kentucky is the first focus because this is home ground. Every stop should connect remembrance, safe documentation, and meaningful help.

    Kentucky consistently carries one of the highest cancer burdens in the United States—ranking first overall in new cancer cases and deaths.

    1. Publish the first route and memorial water stop.
    2. Document each lawful flight and the story behind the place.
    3. Post proof-of-giving and campaign expense updates.

    A personal invitation

    I am searching for partners for this journey—cancer research foundations and others who want to help families facing cancer.

    Carry it forward

    Share Jodie’s Journey.

    One shared story can reach someone who needs encouragement, understanding, or simply the reminder that they are not walking alone.
