Support Jim's Battle Against Brain Cancer

Jim McKenna, our loving and selfless brother and uncle, and proud father to James, Eamon, Kevin, and Matthew, was diagnosed with Stage 4 brain cancer this past December. The cancer has proven to be extremely aggressive despite a variety of treatments that Jim has endured. Despite all of this, Jim is determined to fight this battle with courage, strength and of course, faith.

As you can imagine, however, this shocking news has turned the family's world upside down as Jim is no longer able to work and is being lovingly cared for and supported by Suzi and the boys, while Suzi also works full-time. This diagnosis is taxing physically and emotionally while also bringing significant financial burdens upon the family as it requires specialized treatments. The family is currently navigating providing in-home care and creating a physically accommodating setup for Jim at home.

We humbly ask for your support of Jim, Suzi, and their four boys he continues this valiant fight. We are hopeful that our amazing community will come together to help defray some of these costs, so that the McKenna family can focus on important things like quality time together.

We will update with any other supportive efforts as things develop.

We greatly appreciate your generosity, kindness, prayers and support during this shocking and difficult time.

Thank you,

Maeve (McKenna) Gallivan

Jim's Niece, on behalf of the family
