Vinnie and Jodi are two very funny professional comedians who got married. Life was fun, funny and exciting, then Jodi got sick. She had esophageal cancer 11 years ago then breast cancer 4 years after that and esophageal cancer again 4 years after that , and now PSP Disease which has no cure.

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare brain disorder that causes problems with movement, walking and balance, and eye movement. It results from damage to nerve cells in the brain that control thinking and body movement. The disorder’s long name indicates that the disease worsens (progressive) and causes weakness (palsy) by damaging certain parts of the brain above nerve cell clusters called nuclei (supranuclear) that control eye movements.

Vinnie's love and care for Jodi is of the highest order. He explains how humor and laughter continue to help them through the worst of times. 

One of the most heartwarming parts of theis story is what professional comedian Bill Burr did to help Vinnie and Jodi - THAT is also of the highest order of a human being. 

Thanks to Vinnie and Jodi for sharing their story with the YJHTL. family.
