Hello,
I would like to personally invite you to the blog "Running the Race." I will do my very best to answer any questions that you might have for me about the book, myself, or my previous works "Timmy and the Storm," and "Madison's Special Dolly."
I greatly appreciate your interest and look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks again,
Jeff Yosick
About Me
I grew up in the small town of New Washington, Ohio. I began to write poetry at a young age and became inspired to begin writing children's stories once I had children of my own.
I believe in writing stories that can educate, inspire, and offer a sense of hope to children. Although my books are geared more for children they all contain messages that will tug at the heartstrings of all who read them.
I currently live in Blacklick, Ohio, with my Wife Valerie, Daughter Bryanna, and sons Brock, and Brenner.
About "Running the Race"
I am very excited about this book for many reasons. Probably the biggest is that it was inspired by my Mom who is a breast cancer survior (You're invited to read my article listed with the links on this page to read more about her story).
Second, it has given me another opportunity to help children who are faced with a difficult situation in life. I was an adult when my Mother was stricken, it's hard to imagine what must be going through the mind of a young child facing a parent fighting breast cancer.
Third, Rain Publishing Inc. will be donating a dollar of every book sold toward breast cancer research. I am so thankful for their support, as their is no measure around for an act of human kindness.
Finally, through this story I can humbly play a minor role in both the fight, and someday soon the cure of breast cancer.

Jeff,
HI! I don't know if you will remember me, but I went to Radiologic Technology school with you in Mansfield, Ohio. I just saw an article about your book on breast cancer and was so suprised to realize that it was "the" Jeff Yosick. Anyway, it looks like your quite a successful writer of childrens books and wanted to congratulate you on that and wonder if you are still working in any kind of radiology area or if you have moved beyond that. Anyway, it is hard to believe but I have come full circle when it comes to radiology. I am now a clinical instructor at MedCentral Hospital for the radiologic technology students (you know like Carol Kelsor and Addie Tackett). I love it though and I work with Ellen Johnson-remember her? Addie has since retired. Well, enough about me. Congrats on your writing and I plan to pick up one of your books. Take care and its always good to touch bases with past friends.
