Nice to meet you Jim. I’m from Ithaca so I know Elmira quite well. Did you ever run the wineglass in Corning? Keep moving if you could put what that does for us in a pill everyone would take it. Also your attitude is a superpower

Wow - you are amazing!

I'm about to turn 60 and I have a goal of being a fast old lady :). You give me hope.

also - good to know I'm not the only one afraid I'll fall off the treadmill!

Jim, thanks so much for sharing. My father was born in 1948. He also had multiple cancers including MML and then AML+. He also had 2 stem cell treatments. So slightly different stories yet oddly similar. I know you didn't write to be an inspiration but you are. Thank you for sharing your story and god bless.

I just love these lines...and the mindset! "I have learned that I can do whatever I put my mind to. It just takes perseverance and dedication." Go, Jim!

Incredible Jim! Thank you so much for sharing your stories with us. I live near Syracuse, NY so I know exactly where Elmira, NY is. Beautiful area. Cheering you on in your next marathon! AMAZING! Thank you for showing us what is possible. I hope to keep on running just like you until my last breath.
