Jim

My brother-in-law, Jim, is truly one of the most fit individuals I know. He just completed an extensive backpacking trip a few weeks ago. I've been backpacking, hiking and bicycling with him more times than I can count. In each of these, I've had to really work to keep up while he just mossies along, and I'm pretty fit myself!

One week to the day after his just completed backpacking trip, he was diagnosed with Pacreatic Cancer. We are all just stunned. How can a man who is so strong become so ill so quickly? Thank God he is so fit! He and Donna have many support structures (their schools, church, marriage group, friends, family, etc) that are there to help, but even so, this is going to be such a struggle for both of them. I'm sure the hardest of their lives.

Please keep Jim, Donna and their family in your thoughts and prayers.
