In the last year I have met some extraordinary Cancer survivors that all have their own unique “Twist on Cancer”. Jonny Imerman is one of the most charismatic, dynamic, and inspirational survivors I have had the privilege of befriending.
Jonny is a 2x cancer survivor who started Imerman’s Angels, an organization that carefully matches a person touched by cancer (a cancer fighter or survivor) with someone who has fought and survived the same type of cancer (a Mentor Angel). Cancer caregivers, such as spouses, parents, children, and friends, can also benefit from one-on-one connections with other caregivers and survivors. The service is free and available to anyone touched by any type of cancer, at any stage, any age, living anywhere in the world.
Pretty remarkable right?
Jonny is a force to be reckoned with! He has created a unique support system for survivors, caregivers and friends. He also has drawn considerable attention to the importance of devoting significant resources to delivering psychosocial support to those in need.
Jonny Imerman, not only showed me how to fight, but he has shown me how to live. Jonny was at Hotel Prentice for the delivery of my first round of chemotherapy and he was there to celebrate with me as I was disconnected from the pump this past May. Jonny is not only my mentor and role model he is also a dear friend.
Check out Jonny’s “Twist on Cancer“.
My name is Jonny, I am a 2x young adult testicular cancer survivor and my TOC is a challenge that EACH and EVERY cancer survivor looks at their cancer experience with a TWIST 
What that means is that EACH one of us has lived through cancer, experienced the highs and lows, knows the good and the bad, the hard and the good days – and through this experience we have learned the system and discovered the cracks. And there are always cracks. We survivors need to view the system “with a twist,” isolate the cracks in the system, then DO something to fill these cracks and make the system better for those who fight after us! Only then… ONLY THEN – will we make this cancer world a better place! Who better than us to improve the system!! It’s our duty- our obligation- our purpose. That’s my twist 
And I’m excited to befriend and work with SO many amazing survivors to get the job done!
