A portion of every sale of A Woman’s World: Discovering the Dynamic Menstrual Cycle will be donated to help support the Charles and Joan Moon Compassionate Service Fund and The James Hampton Scholarship Fund.

From Joan Moon . . .
When I was ill with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, I was fortunate to have excellent healthcare insurance. The only thing that wasn’t paid for was my expensive anti-nausea medication.

However, I sat next to people during chemotherapy who had no insurance at all and could not afford any of their medications. I was moved by their plight and, along with my husband, established the Charles and Joan Moon Compassionate Service Fund at the University of Toledo Health Science Campus Cancer Center to help pay for anti-nausea medication for those who can’t afford it.

James Hampton PhD, a long-time resident of Waterville Ohio, devoted over 20 years of teaching and service to The University of Toledo (Formerly Medical College of Ohio at Toledo - MCO). He joined the faculty in 1985, and over the years reached the rank of Professor. He is a graduate of Ohio University (BS in Mathematics) and West Virginia University (PhD. in cell biology/pathology). Among other things, he conducted research and taught Pathophysiology courses in the programs of Physician Assistant Studies, Nursing, Physical Therapy, Medicine and the Basic Health Sciences.

James and his wife Anne have 2 sons, Phillip and Michael. Both boys are graduates of Anthony Wayne High School and currently attend the University of Cincinnati (Phillip) and the United States Naval Academy (Michael).

In 2007, Dr. Hampton was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis ( ALS), more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. This progressive neurodegenerative disease has forced him to retire from the work that he so loved. The James Hampton Scholarship Fund was established to provide a lasting legacy for students at the University of Toledo. This scholarship benefits students who excel in the pathophysiology courses that Dr. Hampton taught at The University of Toledo (specifically Nursing and Physician Assistant classes).

Jim recently died in December 2009 but the giving back continues as we strive to reach the amount needed for his endowed scholarship. He was a remarkable man and his legacy will live on.
