James B. Finn (February 9,1949 - January 20, 2018) of Wofford Heights, CA, was a celebrated PGA golf professional who was employed for over 25 years and dearly loved by the Red Hill Country Club members. On October 23, 2018, a Ladies Golf Tournament was held at the Red Hill Country Club in Rancho Cucamonga in honor of Jim who died of rhabdomyosarcoma.  Jim was treated at the Cancer Center of Southern California/Sarcoma Oncology Center in Santa Monica CA and participated in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial aimed at vaccinating him against his sarcoma. His wife, Tina, made it her mission to raise money towards finding a cure for sarcoma.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I am so glad you enjoyed the video. It feels good to be working again, my bones are stronger. Honestly, I never thought I would blow glass again.

And, I want you to know how grateful and thankful I am to have had the opportunity to use rexin-g and reximmune-C. I know without a doubt that these drugs have contributed to my longevity.

Thank you so much,

kindest regards,
jackie

Letter from MF's nurse (MF, 10 year osteosarcoma survivor)

Hi Dr Gordon,

Visited Mond this afternoon. He was very happy to see me. Told the family about Fr Aveni's ongoing Beatification. Mond is very willing to write his good experience with Rexin-g [sic]. He is no longer taking any medicines. He still has PEG for feeding. But he can still swallow liguids very well. He loves soup and coffee. He was 23 years old when he started Rexin -G treatment. Now he is 34 years old, energetic and happy.

Best regards,
Vangie

Appreciation and Gratitude (Letter from Fr. Jessie Martirizar)

Dearest everyone behind the Aveni Foundation,

I would like to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude for the wonderful things you have been doing in honour of our beloved Fr. Joseph Aveni, especially with the establishment of this Foundation under his name. It goes without saying that Fr. Aveni will intercede for this noble initiative in favour of needy cancer patients. On my part I can assure you of my constant prayers so that the good Lord will bless this noble endeavour.
