Jason Taylor passed away from brain cancer in November of 2017. In early 2016, we would get the devastating news that Jason had brain cancer. It was glioblastoma- one of the deadliest forms of brain cancer. From the time of diagnosis to his passing, Jason would never lose sight of what was important to him. He was constantly thinking of others and finding opportunities to make a difference in anyone who came in contact with him. He never let cancer take over his life and fought until the end with grace and hope. From the time we shared our news that Jason was sick, our family, friends and community rallied around us. Jason and I were constantly amazed at the out pouring of love and kindness people showed us. Those acts of love and kindness are what helped my family though the most difficult time of our lives. It is now my journey to give the gift of kindness to those in need of extra love and support during a difficult life experience. -Alicia Taylor (Jason’s wife)
Win the Day Warriors was formed early in 2018 when Alicia, Aimee, Karen and Kelly came together to train and run the NYC Marathon in memory of Alicia’s husband Jason Taylor who passed away from brain cancer. These ladies wanted to run for a purpose and by the love and support of some amazing people they were able to raise $15K. A portion of the money was donated to Sloane Kettering Cancer Research and the remaining funds were used to help several families in the community that were hit by cancer. When someone is battling cancer, their whole family and loved ones are too
