Jim Paisley Brain Cancer Diagnosis

Jim Paisley: father, grandfather, husband, brother, uncle, friend + local rock star, decorated musician, selfless volunteer, custom woodworker, and, most recently, pie-and-bread-baking phenom.

 

Jimbo is everything the Wood River valley exudes - an empathic family man with artistic entrepreneurship running through his veins. A 40-year staple to the community, he can frequently be seen taking jean-clad excursions through the Valley’s endless trails and perfecting his unicycle craft from Bellevue to Ketchum, all the while never too busy for a passing friendly conversation or just a flash of his sweet, simple smile. He has always typified the ideal that it’s not about the destination, but the journey.

 

And now, it’s time for a journey down an unfamiliar road with and for our Jimmy.

 

Last week, Jim was diagnosed with inoperable, multiforme Level 4 GBM (an advanced and aggressive form of brain cancer). The diagnosis was swift and the prognosis heartbreaking. To that end, our sole goal is to make him comfortable as possible in a calm and loving environment - the type he always created for his family. In his Bellevue home that he shares with his wife, Mary, we will need full-time, professional home health, in addition to daily Twin Falls trips for treatment for 6 consecutive weeks.

 

This campaign is asking for any support you can provide, knowing that all funds will directly funnel to the following: Professional home healthcare + trips to/from Twin Falls + medical bills & expenses

 

We don’t reach out and ask lightly; we do so only with the thought of what we can do for the man who has done so much for his own family and friends. In advance, we thank you for any donation and/or sharing of this campaign; and, always, we thank you for the outpouring of love and support for our guy.

With lots of love and thanks,
