Talk:The Jimmy Fund

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

are u sure that they tracked "jimmy" down in 1998? that doesnt sound very likely.

It's true. Everyone at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund thought that the boy who was on the radio broadcast that began it all had died of cancer. No one knew his name. They had made up the name "Jimmy" to keep him anonymous. Einar Gustafson was a truck driver in Maine and I would guess he thought keeping anonymous was the best thing. Close to DFCI's 50th birthday I believe he contacted someone at the Jimmy Fund and there was an announcement. MBCF 13:35, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jeffy?

Excuse me... new to wikipedia editing... but I don't understand the headline "Jeffy: The boy who launched the jimmy fund" The word "Jeffy" doesn't appear anywhere else in the article, let alone in this heading. Who the hell is Jeffy, then, and why is he mentioned in the headline, but nowhere else?

[edit] Events

It would be a good idea for someone to find out and provide the annual dates for these events. VoL†ro/\/Force 14:33, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
