Texas Independence Day is coming up on March 2nd. The last few years, we have done a 75-mile road march as a tribute to the "Immortal 32". Every year we also do it to raise money for a cause. This year we will be doing it for Jason Ullo.
On October 27th, my friend,
SWAT team member and Army combat veteran, Jason Ullo received tragic news: stage 4 colon cancer.
Learning you have cancer never comes at a good time, but for Jason and his wife, Christen, the timing of his diagnosis was devastating. The couple married in 2021 and welcomed their first son, Lukas, in August 2022.
As an excited new dad, Jason took time off work when Lukas was born to be with his wife and son. It was while on leave from the Austin SWAT team that Jason began experiencing troubling symptoms. After a brief round of testing, he was diagnosed on October 27th with Stage 4 colon cancer with Liver Metastasis. Because he is otherwise in top physical health, doctors want to be as aggressive as possible with treatment.
In true survivor fashion, Jason is determined to face this head-on with the support of his loving wife, relatives and SWAT family. But this family needs more than moral support; they also need monetary help to mitigate the financial strain cancer treatment guarantees.
I humbly ask that you share Jason’s story and prayerfully consider contributing to this hero and his family, as he has given so much to our city and nation.
The Immortal 32 was a relief force of thirty-two Texian Militia men from Gonzales, Texas who reinforced the Texians under siege at the Alamo. They were the only unit to answer the "To the People of Texas & All Americans in the World" letter from William Travis. Along with the other Alamo defenders, they were all killed and burned after the Battle of the Alamo.
