Joyful Experience Team

Inspired by David Justus, who died after a nearly two-year battle with glioblastoma, JET seeks to create joyful experiences for families struggling with brain cancer, a chance to enhance their lives with experiences that are rich in love and will be treasured for all time. Click here for a complete list of JET activities and programs.

We believe, like David did, that life should not be measured in time, but in joyful moments. JET will allow families coping with this painful diagnosis to go to special events and be treated like VIPs, including tickets, transportation, food and drink, swag, etc. JET partners with Making Headway to find families to support.

Founded by David’s son, Oliver Justus, and his best friends, River Attard, Leo Gerstein, Jack Gorenstein, and Felix Ward, all monies raised will support JET’s mission of creating joyful experiences for families fighting brain cancer.

Oliver Justus and JET were featured in Making Headway’s Summer 2022 Newsletter.
