Dear Fellow Citizen,
On behalf of my family, it is with great pleasure and honor that I announce the creation of Jeremy's Heroes. The goal of this foundation is to award assistance to school-age children who wish to pursue a sport, but are hindered by financial barriers. These athletes will then demonstrate a commitment to their community through their sport.

Jeremy's Heroes will be an enduring foundation that represents who Jeremy was and how he lived his life. My parents instilled in us the values of what my mother likes to call the three "C's": compassion, courage and character. Jeremy strove to achieve those "C's" in every aspect of his life, whether it was as simple as a race to see who could eat their breakfast cereal the quickest or a quest to become a National Judo champion. He faced difficulties head on but always considered how his actions affected others and, the best strategy to achieve his goal.

For the Glick children, athletics were always a natural part of our life. When Jeremy was in grammar school, he and my brothers were fierce judo competitors. Family vacations were spent sight-seeing in the different states where the competitions took place. I remember with great fondness, a trip we took to Niagara Falls. My parents, and brothers piled into our blue maxi-van (before maxi-vans were the popular way to travel) and drove to the Falls for a junior national judo competition. I do not recall which brothers won or came in what place that year (although I am sure trophies came home with us as they always did), but what I remember most vividly is the joy we took in being together as a family. My parents encouraged us to participate and excel in whatever we did. Sports were not just competitive events but natural extensions of who we are both on and off the "field".

Jeremy was the third of six children. Growing up in such a large household was both chaotic and wonderful. When his nephews were born, he joyfully tossed them in the air, swam with them in his pool, took them tubing in his boat and taught them how to snow board. When his daughter Emerson came into this world this past June, it was the happiest moment of his life. He was proud of every wink of her eye, even every dirty diaper. Jeremy admired her strong legs and wondered out loud what sport she would pursue. Sports were an integral part of Jeremy's life and without question would be a part of Emerson's life as well. Through Jeremy's Heroes we will continue to value Jeremy's love for children and sports.

Jeremy gave the ultimate sacrifice to save countless others. We pay tribute to his memory by teaching children the value of compassion. By asking children to give back to their community in whatever way their sport allows, we are celebrating Jeremy's gift to America. Thank you.

Very truly yours,

Jennifer Glick,

President, Jeremy's Heroes
