August 15, 2006 Jed Morris was diagnosed acute lymphocytic luekemia. Jed's Midland RockHounds formed the Jed Morris Victory fund to help Jed off set his medical expenses.
On Friday, Sept. 1 and Saturday, Sept. 2 (2006) the Midland RockHounds partnered with the Midland West Rotary Club as well as the National Marrow Donor Program in a bone marrow registration drive during the RockHounds games versus the Frisco Roughriders.
The Midland RockHounds and Oakland A's were also instrumental in his recovery. The two clubs established a Jed Morris Victory Fund and were able to raise over $20,000 for Morris. He later taped a video thank-you and it still can be seen on YouTube
