Jerome Roberts

Everyday I've been struggling through my 4 mile runs but yesterday I started thinking about how thankful I was to have healthy legs to run on, a healthy back to support me and a healthy heart. I found out before spring break that a friend of mine and Jon's from the dorms has be diagnosed with a rare disease called Focal and Segmental glomero-sclerosis of the kidneys and Non Segmental Cardio Myopathy of the heart at just 22 years old. The doctors said that his case was mild and gave him a list of foods and things he should avoid and he should be fine. However, I recently found out that his case has gotten worse and is now in the hospital waiting for a heart and kidney transplant and he is not doing very well. I can't believe that one of my friends is going through this, he's one of the best people I've meant while being down at school. This makes me so sad to know he has to go through this. His name is Jerome or JT and he is such a good and caring person. It is just like him to have a positive attitude about the whole situation, people around him say that he's been joking around that he's gonna get a new heart like Tony Stark (Ironman). So I would like all of you to pray for my friend and keep him in your prayers. Thank you.
