Jeremy's Circle is an Israeli-registered charity (amuta) that offers a supportive community for children and early teens growing up with cancer in their families, or who have suffered a cancer loss.
Initially conceived by Jeremy Coleman, a father of three young children, while he underwent treatment for stage 4 stomach cancer, Jeremy's Circle was established shortly after he died by his wife Pamela Becker and his sisters Juliette and Naomi Coleman in 2008.[1] [2]
The group holds fun days for kids throughout the year and during school vacations.[3] Activities are intended to provide fun and friendship, along with respite, from the stress of cancer treatment or loss in the family, and to give a sense of normalcy in a far-from-normal situation. As of November 2021, the organization supports approximately 700 young families across Israel.[4] [5]
