Synopsis
In July 2009, Jim Stynes was diagnosed with cancer and given six months to live. The diagnosis caught him by surprise – he was 42, healthy, fit – and he didn't have time for illness: he was director of the Reach Foundation, president of Melbourne Football Club, father of two primary school-aged kids, husband of Sam. Knowing his odds weren't good, but with so much to lose, Jim put everything he had into trying to beat the disease. Jim's ability to use mind over matter, to never give in, to overcome pain, to believe in himself and his will to succeed – all of this gave him two extra years on the prognosis. He's had more than 25 tumours removed from his brain and stomach, and has defied expectations time and time again. Based on diary entries, this book tells what Jim found out about himself when things were at their worst – about what really counts when you're stacking it all up. It's a moving, inspiring tribute to a life lived fearlessly.
