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.

All proceeds are accepted.
