This Is the Most Heartbreaking Story You Will Read Today![](http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/7/2010/04/340x_jamison.jpg)
Aaron Jamison has terminal colon cancer and expects to die within nine months. Despite this, his spirits are high; he hands out bracelets that read "Cancer Sucks ... Life is Good ... Choose Joy." And also...good lord...
Aaron is trying to sell advertising space on two urns that will hold his ashes after he is cremated. He is doing this because his disability check does not cover his medical bills, and he "wants to pay for his cremation and urn costs before he dies so his wife Kristin won't have to worry about it."
"He hopes to raise $800 all together."
