Jimmy the Great is focused on raising awareness and funding to cure pediatric brain cancer.

10/01/2026

I continue to be amazed by the people we have met along the way in our new life. Thank you to Arby's Foundation for the generous grant and to Abbey Ramsey for making this happen along with everything else you have done for us over the years.

Back in July I participated in the 3rd Annual Klinker Open (thank you Andrew Collins) hosted by my friend, John W. Klinker. John puts this on because his nephew beat blood cancer into the ground, and he’s doing his part to raise funds and spread awareness.

This month he generously gave the Nebraska Chapter of The Cure Starts Now, Jimmy The Great a part of the proceeds-different battle, same war.

Today is the last day of Pediatric Cancer Awareness month. Rather than posting the usual rant, I wanted to focus on the generosity of those who continue to fight with us.

🚨🚨🚨SILENT AUCTION SNEAK PEEK🚨🚨🚨

I don’t have anything clever to say. Sometimes last minute donations just deserve a special sneak peek.

One good thing that came from the battle we’ve been fighting for the last 4 1/2 years is the new friends we made along the way. Four years ago we took Jimmy to Las Vegas. The highlight for him was the Tournament of Kings show at Excalibur. I never would have guessed four years later we would consider two of the knights that made that evening extra special for Jimmy great friends.

Our friend, Sergio Keko Aguirre was able to commission this amazing painting. The artist, Maravy is very talented. I suggest you look up her work to see exactly what I’m talking about (see information page attached). This piece is especially important when you look at the meaning/ inspiration behind it:

“This work is a tribute to children facing cancer: small bodies fighting great battles, whose bravery, though silent, has the power to illuminate even the darkest spaces.”

Tickets are available below or day of. The calm before the storm begins now!
