DZIM Campaign 2010

"Funding the Cure"


This year my best friend, without my or family's permission, joined my elite fraternity of Leukemia Survivors--my DAD!


Pause…catch my breath...


"Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a dad". ~Author Unknown


I HAVE A DAD!


My dad was recently diagnosised with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). While he is doing fine now and does not need treatment at the present time, his diagnosis was gut wrenching news to digest and brought back feelings about my own diagnosis and treatment that I had not felt in my 39 years. My goal is 39k which is is a 1000 for each year my dad has been there for me..


This season is dedicated to my CLL survivor DAD, "Mr. G" as his students called him.


I am coaching a triathlon team for Team in Training for the LLS this summer and I will also be participating in a number of events including my nemesis the half Ironman—somehow harder for me than a full-- Ironical because I can only dream of being half the father my DAD is to me.


So, please make a donation to support the great cause of “Fund the Cure” through the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!! All tax deductable.


Thank you in advance for your support, Jim Jr


“One night a father overheard his son pray: Dear God, Make me the kind of man my Daddy is. Later that night, the Father prayed, Dear God, Make me the kind of man my son wants me to be.” ~Author also Unknown
