ABOUT US

Gimme 4 Inc. was founded in September 2011. We are a 501c3 non-profit charitable foundation whose sole purpose is to help families that are battling cancer. We raise money through events such as 5Ks, golf tourneys, and contributions made by many of you that also feel like it is a great cause. The foundation is inspired by a wonderful man named Jason Roe. Jason passed away on July 13, 2012 after battling cancer and giving all it could handle. Jason was an awesome MAN of GOD!! He also was born without thumbs. He could always be heard saying "Gimme 4" instead of the traditional gimme 5. I always appreciated and respected the way that he embraced it. With that and the tradition in football when the 3rd quarter comes to an end and everyone in attendance and probably even in living rooms across the country, fans and players hold up 4 fingers. Why?

The message is that the battle is not yet over, in fact in some cases has only just began. Our message here at Gimme 4 Inc. is to never quit, never give up and run the race. Play all 4 quarters, because that is what God is calling us to do. Give our best effort while we are on this earth until it is time for us to go home. 2 Timothy 4:7 says "I have fought the good FIGHT, I have FINSHED the race, I have kept the FAITH". Fight til you Finish by keeping your Faith. This is all we can do because God is in control. Please support what we are doing here, because cancer has undoubtedly affected everyone's life at some point. Thanks for your support and Gimme 4!!!

OUR FAMILY

LUCAS

“Lucas McElroy may have Leukemia but

Leukemia doesn’t have him! He’s such a strong little trooper!” That’s what all his Facebook followers see. Lucas (aka Joey) was diagnosed with Leukemia during his 4 year old physical exam last year. He has been facing his cancer challenges head on for year! In this year, he has lost his hair (and grew back, somewhat), went for

round after round of chemo, and lost his drive for fun. His cancer treatments will continue for two more years at Arnold Palmer Hospital. Lucas is such a loving little boy and has three sisters that adore him. He loves spider-man, watching Spongebob, and sitting on his Mom and Nana’s lap.

LUCIANA

After the race I got my first results that confirmed that I was on
remission. Since then I have gone 2 more times and both successful "no
presence of the disease" diagnosis. We moved to Miami in August to be
closer to family. The baby turned 1 in August too. I thank God everyday
for allowing me to watch them grow! I go to my next appointment November
4th hoping we are still on remission!
