Imerman, Jonny

Abstract

Jonny Imerman battled testicular cancer at age 26. After undergoing surgery and chemotherapy, Jonny's disease relapsed, which meant more therapy. Through it all, he was eager to talk to someone who had been down a similar road. After he finished treatment, he founded Imerman Angels, a non-profit organization that provides one-on-one support among cancer patients and caregivers. In recognition of his work, Jonny was recognized as a 2012 CNN Hero.
