De obicei, CNA „Consiliul National al Audiovizualului“ amendează televiziunile ca uneori nu dau dreptul la replica celor despre care se vorbește, transmite erichmocanu.tv

ANGAJATUL JUCAN ACUZA FARA SA FIE PERSOANA DE FATA!

Whole Family (Not Taken By Me)

An Inspiration.

Team JuCan consists of the Cobb family Jonathan and Jennifer (the parents), Jonathan (son), and their two daughters Jenna and Jaxi.

The family started walking August 6, 2014 to promote Pediatric Cancer Awareness in honor of their daughter Julia Cobb (2005-2013). Since then, they have walked through 14 states, over 300 cities, and almost 4000 miles!

Their mission: Walk from DisneyLand to DisneyWorld. 

With less than a week left in their journey, there is a mixture of relief, and disappointment in the hearts of the family members.

I am grateful to have been able to join them on the stretch of 301 between Ocala, FL and Belleview.

In just a couple miles, I learned much about this family’s journey, and felt truly blessed to have met them and been a part of it. 

Here is what I learned:

Hugs. That is what you’re met with by every member of the family.

The children are home schooled obviously, and still have more manners and social skills than most kids their age.

The family takes turns walking; Jennifer will drive some and then Jonathan will switch out.

Walking is the best way to trek across America, not driving.

Apparently, Utah was the most beautiful state to walk in.

Don’t expect your phone or GoPro to work in extreme temperatures.

If you walk on the side of the road, you’re bound to find money.

People honk and wave a lot, which may cause a minor heart attack.

According to their son Jonathan, Nikon is better than Canon (which is not so).

Jaxi can run fast, just as fast as she steals your heart.

Jenna loves Disney almost as much as I do.

This family has changed lives through their journey.

The family also heads the Julia Cobb-JuCan Foundation which promotes awareness for Pediatric Cancer, assists families with medical costs, and provides scholarships to cancer survivors.

You can find out more information and donate at the foundation’s website:

Their journey will reach completion June 21 2015 (Father’s Day).

Feel free to join them in their final miles.
