Our friend Jonathan Tjarks is battling cancer. He announced his fight in April. It was devastating those of us who are close with him. Jon’s a fighter, though. He’s been undergoing chemotherapy for months now, and his lovely wife Melissa is keeping tabs on their journey on her blog. He’s also written about what it’s like to stare mortality in the face.
Jon is a friend of ours here at Mavs Moneyball. He was even once a contributor here, lending us a shred of credibility. So, we cannot sit on our hands and wish him well from afar.
