You are a huge inspiration to our kids as well as I'm sure many across the country. With the “Fowkes” genes that Jimmy has, I know he is a fighter and has a lot of love and support to back him up.

We have sold our home, and depleted 85,000.00 of college and retirement savings with more out of state treatments still needed. MY SON WILL NOT DIE BECAUSE OF MONEY! My ignorance of the facts that cancer patients of in between age, the college age destroyed me as much as finding out my son had a 5% chance of survival. I will devote the rest of my life to the discussing and fighting the disease of cancer that is increasingly facing our children, as well as the uninsured, and the punished poor. Jimmy is such a beautiful and vibrant young man with a smile that gives me the hope I must believe in to continue with my son's fight. Jimmy YOU are a survivor and you will reach remission to lead a productive and happy life! You are in my heart. Consider setting up a caring bridge sight for free communication amongst people who will walk with you and your steps! God bless you and your family my little one.

Jimmy says, "Getting cancer has been both the best and worst experience of my life." Oh how true that is. I feel the same way. It is amazing to hear a 15 year old say that. I wish Jimmy and his family and friends all the best and I hope to hear more news as we get closer to the Challenge. LIVESTRONG! Jimmy is such an inspiration to us all.
