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. The group holds fun days for kids throughout the year and during school vacations. 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 January 2014, the organization supports approximately 260 young families.
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.
