On August 18th, our family received news that changed everything—James was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). James is not only a devoted husband to Christina, a proud father of four, and a loving grandfather to three grandsons, but he is also a passionate high school teacher and the head baseball coach at Trimble Tech High School. For over 20 years, James has poured his heart into shaping the lives of his students, both in the classroom and on the field, mentoring and inspiring them with the same dedication he shows to his family.

Now, James faces the toughest battle of his life. As he begins treatment, we want to rally around him the way he has always rallied around others. This fundraiser will help support James and his family with medical expenses, time away from work, and the challenges that come with fighting leukemia. Any support you can give—whether through donations, prayers, or sharing his story—means the world to our family as we stand by James in this fight.
