Jareds Juggernaut Inc. Newsroom - Profile and News Archive

Jareds Juggernaut Inc. or "Jareds Juggernaut To Cure Sarcoma" (JJCUR) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit which was started after the founders’ 26 year old son, Jared Steven Grossman, died after fighting Rhabdomyosarcoma for five years.

JJCUR was founded in May 2010 and has five members on its board of directors. Three researchers have been selected for funding support. The organization looks for researchers throughout the world that are working on innovative treatments and methodologies that use little to no chemotherapy.

The protocol that Jared was given was one that was in place for twenty years and had a less than 20 percent survival rate for his stage of the disease. We found that the chemo and radiation was almost as devastating to Jared’s body as the cancer itself and, after he died, we vowed that we would work hard to support researchers who were innovative and looked for body sparing methods to fight cancers.
