Jim Abernethy was a charismatic lover of life who made an impact on so many. Losing our dear Jim to Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma on December 5, 2019, a mere three months after diagnosis, is something his family, friends and colleagues still find impossible to believe. Married for 36 of his 61 years and a proud father of three daughters, family was always a big part of who he was.

"Looking back, the support of the community and complete strangers was nothing short of amazing and mind blowing. People stepped up in such a huge way to support my family and I and it's reasons like that why I want to give back. I participate as a Survivor but I do it for all my fellow Warriors, past and present."
