My Story

1 Oct 2026

Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for supporting the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids cancer. I still don’t know and can’t fathom the heartbreak of having a child diagnosed with cancer, but my own experience has changed my perspective in profound ways. Currently I am fighting a terminal neuroendocrine carcinoma. I was diagnosed in 2021 and I am at MD Anderson going through immunotherapy treatment. An expert medical team with their compassionate approach has made this frightening time much more bearable and I am fortunate to have support from friends, family members, and especially a my loving wife Pauline. With deep gratitude, Jim
