<div>Hi, my name is Hannah and I’m James’ niece and I’m starting this fundraiser to support my uncle and his sons at this difficult time. James has always been there for our family and now we would love to help him make the best memories with his boys! Thank you for taking the time to read this, your support will mean the world to James and all of us who love him.

<div>Help James Complete His Bucket List and Make Memories With His Boys
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My uncle James has been living with cancer since he was just 15 years old. At that time, doctors gave him six weeks to live — yet here he is, almost three decades later, still fighting. His strength and resilience have inspired everyone who knows him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, James received devastating news, his cancer has spread, and he now also has a life-threatening heart condition. His heart is only functioning at 32.5%, which means he can’t undergo surgery for the new tumours that has grown. This is resulting in him having to have more chemotherapy for the first time in years. Since making this go fund me he has also found out that the cancer has spread to his lymph nodes. Last week he lost his sight in one eye, he then found out that he also had cancer in the eye. Despite everything, James’s greatest wish is simple — to live for his kids and family, and to make unforgettable memories with them while he still can.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>James is not only a fighter — he’s also an incredible poet. Writing has always been his way of expressing emotions too heavy to carry alone. He has even published his own book of poetry, leaving behind words that touch the hearts of everyone who reads them. His poems reflect his humor, love, pain, and hope, offering a glimpse into the soul of a man who has spent his life searching for beauty even in the darkest moments.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On August 20th, 2025, James created a bucket list of the experiences he dreams of sharing with his sons and loved ones. Some of the things on his list include:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Taking his son to Amsterdam for his 18th birthday trip he’s owed since 2024
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Going on an Ayahuasca retreat to explore alternative healing methods
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Visiting family in America
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Seeing his favorite artists live in concert
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And most of all, making memories and living longer for his boys
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser is to help James achieve as many of these dreams as possible and to give his three sons lasting, beautiful memories of their dad.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>James has always fought with courage, humor, and love — now, he deserves the chance to enjoy life’s adventures with his family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any donation, no matter the size, will help make his wishes a reality. Even if you can’t give, please share his story so we can help him live these moments to the fullest.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From our family to yours, thank you for your kindness and support. ❤️
