Jim Stynes

A moving, inspiring story of a life lived fearlessly. A superb read from start to finish

A great story, well told, and you'll do well not to cry while reading certain chapters

In July 2009, Jim Stynes was diagnosed with cancer and  given less than a   year 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 a   foundation for young people, 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.<br/>
                   <br/>
He was well equipped to beat the odds - he'd been getting the most out of himself in every aspect of life since his   childhood in Dublin. Jim's ability to use mind over  matter and  his   will to succeed gave him two extra years on the prognosis. He had  more   than 25 tumours removed from his brain and stomach, and defied    expectations time and time again. <br/>
<br/>
This book is  Jim's legacy.  Unflinching in its detail, Jim talks about what he 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 story  of a life  lived  fearlessly.
