Prayers Needed for a Very Good Friend
 

A few months ago, Jim Smulligan, a well-known and respected Division 1 Super Gas racer was diagnosed with later stage esophageal cancer. Esophageal cancer is very difficult to cure since it is usually diagnosed at a later stage as is the case with Jim. I have been in contact with him and he is currently continuing chemo treatments with ten or so left before a scan will be performed to see if he is winning the battle. As always with chemo treatments, Jim has lost a lot of weight and is sick daily. He is trying to stay positive and hoping for the best. He is even looking to possibly buy another race car.

Anyone who has ever met Jim and his wife Kathy know that they are both wonderful people and great racers. Therefore, I ask everyone to keep them in their thoughts and prayers because they need the extra strength to keep going and to win their battle against cancer.

Should you wish to contact the Smulligans please send me a private message.

Best of Luck Jim, our prayers are with you. I have never met Jim but why do things like this happen to good people as opposed to it happening to some scum of the earth that has either killed, raped, or stole from someone?...I wish the best.

Jim, best of luck to you and your wife.

I'm very sorry to hear this, though with his winning record I'm sure he'll have no problem beating this too.

We'll keep Jim and his family in our thoughts...

Jim & Kathy,

Best of luck in your fight against this thing. Way to many people are fighting this thing in one way or another.

Would'nt it be nice if more of our tax dollars and the Gov't were helping with this type of fight instead of some of the other one's they're fighting.
