Hello everybody - I am hoping you can help us out by sending a quick email!
For Christmas I got Jim tickets to see Jeff Dunham - the ventriloquist comic. He is one of Jim's favorites. He still laughs at him - something VERY rare! I would like to try to get Jeff to meet Jim at the show. Can you PLEASE help me by emailing Jeff Dunham? [email protected]
I would be so greatful! Thank You - Shelley
PS - Here is a copy of the letter I am sending:
Dear Jeff,
IMAGINE – imagine losing your sense of humor. Imagine never being able to joke again, to laugh or crack a smile. Imagine losing all of your empathy and apathy. Imagine you can no longer be you but you are stuck in the same mind and body. Imagine losing the shine of life in your eyes. Just imagine because it can happen and it has to my husband, Jim.
Jim has been diagnosed with two rare fatal medical conditions. The first, Frontal Temporal Dementia (or FTD) is a young onset dementia that is robbing Jim of his mind. The second Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (or ALS, aka Lou Gehrig’s disease) is robbing him of his muscle control and body. Jim was originally given 18 -36 months to live and is currently defying the odds.
So WHY am I telling you this? We are some of your biggest fans and Jim still understands your humor. He smiles, laughs and still gets your show. Smiles for him are few and far between, laughter even rarer.
We are appealing to your empathy.
Could you PLEASE meet with Jim after your December 29, 2012 show in Cleveland, Ohio? Jim and I will be in the ninth row during your show. I am so excited not only to see your show but to see Jim’s reaction to your show – his Christmas gift. I look forward to seeing Peanut and Jim’s reaction to him. I can’t wait to see him crack a smile to Walter or laugh at Achmed.
PLEASE, please, please consider making this show super special for a young father who is losing his battle with two monsters of his own. Time is of the essence – next tour may be too late. Everyday Jim loses more and more of himself. PLEASE help us make this memorable.
Thank You.
