In Her Shoes,

The TJL Foundation

A non-profit organization

founded by devoted family

and friends of

Tamara Jane Lizzi

Upon graduation from college, Tamara, at the age of twenty-two, was first diagnosed with colon cancer.

Although no one would have suspected such a tiny force was fighting this silent battle, she did so with dignity and unspoken strength. Throughout her struggle with this disease Tamara became a devoted advocate for early detection. She was an inspiration to those fortunate enough to know and love her. Tamara was an extraordinary young woman who embraced life with endless energy while cherishing family and friends with unlimited affection.  

More than anything, Tamara wanted to bring attention to a disease that was thought to afflict those far removed from their twenties. Members of The TJL Foundation have pledged to continue Tamara’s mission, a mission to educate and spread awareness.

Tamara’s strength, optimism, accomplishments and respect for life continue to be a driving force for those who knew her. She etched a memory in the hearts of everyone she met. Tamara always wanted to make the world a better place but at the end of her very short journey, she wanted to make the lives of those suffering easier, more comfortable, and bearable. 

In Her Shoes, The TJL Foundation

has a three-fold mission. 

We advocate for early detection, support those diagnosed with cancer as well as provide support to their families.

 Funds raised are disbursed to New Jersey Cancer Institute, Robert Wood Johnson Oncology Ward and additionally through implementing educational programs throughout New Jersey to young adults, in an effort  to provide information, guidance, and medical assistance.

The TJL Foundation is only as strong as its supporters. Please join us and the spirit of Tamara in the fight against cancer.

 Her powerful legacy lives today within

all our hearts.
