On Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter I have recently joined
the fan page of a strong and very powerful organization in the swim world. Its name is NEGU: Never Ever Give Up. This organization was started in memory
of a little swimmer named Jessie. She struggled to hang on to her life with her
friends and family for nearly a year with two brain tumors. She was a very
positive, inspirational girl that truly never ever gave up. Throughout her
fight she believed in a higher power who later helped her to be put out of
suffering and live a new life watching over her friends and family up above. In
her honor, this organization has grown and donated toys, money, and spread joy
to children with cancer.
Just two days ago the NEGU foundation posted a picture on instagram of
the memorial for Jesse Rees on January 5th, 2012. They let balloons
fly in remembrance of her and her fight against cancer, along with all of the
other children fighting for their lives today.
At many meets, swim shops, and online I have seen this logo
time after time. I had no idea that this was more than any another swim brand
like Speedo. It is a cause that everyone can help. I would encourage everyone, (even if you aren’t
a swimmer) to add the organization's fan page on Facebook or become a follower
on Instagram because this is a cause that is worth following and spreading the
word about!

The story behind this organization is truly inspirational. NEGU is an organization that sounds very generous and kind for children with cancer for donating toys and money. I am definitely going to research this organization for more information because I've never heard of this organization before. I'll make sure to spread the word of NEGU out to my community. Overall, this is a solid blog post.
ReplyDeleteThis post is rather short. I would include some more information on the organization itself, such as who runs the organization and where the organization donates toys and money to.
