May 12th - Jimmy went to UW & they told us he had an incurable aggressive cancer. He told them, "Ok I heard you. If you can't do nothing. Then I'm going home. Burning daylight here. Might be able to get a little riding in." They talked him into staying to see the radiation doctors. He finished a round of full brain radiation on June 2nd. While it was successful, the cancer had already overtaken the rest of his body. The most painful part was in his bones; though he continued to live each day as full as he could. These pictures/video are from that time. Ally Schlough
