Together We Will Win! A Note from Donna

Many years ago I wrote a song called "Together We Will Win" for a huge cancer event that I was in charge of for several years.  These are some of my favorite lines in the song that seem so appropriate for the outpouring of love that has been sent to you Jonathan, and I feel sure that all of your friends and family would say these to you... "If this battle chooses you and by chance skips over me;  I’ll keep fighting in your name, won’t you stand and fight with me;......I will stand beside you when you are weak and you can use my strength..........And when you can’t take one more step, my friend I’ll carry you." I know that every single one of us are sending you our strength and if you need us to carry you through, there will be a line of people waiting for their turn.  Keep fighting the good fight, you have quite an army behind you.  I have just ordered wristbands for your army Jonathan so that we can all be united across the world.  They say,
Jonathan's Army... Together We Will Win!  They are being printed in Black and Gold in honor of your high school colors and then I realized it was also your college colors and the colors of the city of New Orleans where you now live and build houses! Perfect!  When the bracelets come in, I will let everyone know and maybe I can send them to centralized cities and then we can get friends to distribute them to all of Jonathan's "army" in the city that you live.  I want us to wear them and be united with Jonathan until he is cured!  Jonathan, you are not in this alone. God and all of your friends and family are with you every step of the way.  We love you!!!! 
Love, Donna

Here is the whole song about beating cancer.  I sincerely hope that one day there will be a cure for this awful disease.

TOGETHER WE WILL WIN          By: Donna Chance
An apple a day keeps the doctor away, that’s what they always say;
But in my heart I know there are some things it just can’t keep away.
There is a stranger among us that strikes children, women and men;
It doesn't care about your age or the color of your skin.
It’s war that we are fighting and we won’t rest ‘til it takes no more;
We’ll keep fighting daily battles until we find a cure.

So, come and stand beside me, we will fight until the end;
Come and stand beside me and together we will win.
Please stand if you are with me, we will fight and never give in;
Please stand and fight beside me and one day we WILL win.

If this battle chooses you and by chance skips over me;
I’ll keep fighting in your name, won’t you stand and fight with me;
I will stand beside you when you are weak and you can use my strength;
My voice will be yours if you can no longer speak,
And if your sight deserts you, take my hand I’ll lead you through;
And when you can’t take one more step, my friend I’ll carry you.

So, come and stand beside me, we will fight until the end;
Come and stand beside me and together we will win.
Please stand if you are with me, we will fight and never give in;
Please stand and fight beside me and one day we WILL win.

We can make a difference, won’t you stand with me and try;
We can make a difference, together you and I.
Please stand and make a difference, stand with me and do your part;
We will stand together while we’re giving from our hearts;
Please stand if you are with me, stand with me and fight this war;
‘Cause if we stand together then one day we’ll find a cure;
Yes, if we stand together then one day we’ll find our cure.
　　
Love you Jonathan! xoxox
